Gardaí are warning they will be out in force this Bank Holiday Weekend.
87 extra gardaí have been appointed to the Road Policing Units throughout the country.
Gardaí are asking people not to drive under the influence, to belt up, put the mobile phone away and slow down.
Ahead of the bank holiday weekend we (and everyone on your friends list) ask that you stop putting up social media stories of yourself driving. Driving requires all of your attention.
