Garda checkpoints following latest government directive

Gardai are manning checkpoints around County Wexford today to make sure people aren't making non-essential journeys.

It follows new restrictions imposed by government, ordering people to stay at home. The exceptions are to buy food, attend medical appointments, exercise within 2 kilometres of your home or for vital family reasons. Travel for essential work is allowed but all social gatherings are banned. Across the country thousands of Gardai are on patrol  to make sure people are sticking to the guidelines.
