The Garda Commissioner says he's prepared to ask for enforcement powers to police Covid-19 restrictions if he feels they're necessary.
A high visibility operation will commence tonight that will see the return of covid checkpoints and an increase in Garda patrols.
Gardaí were previously given enforcement powers during lockdown, but they're not being re-introduced.
Commissioner Drew Harris says he doesn't believe such powers are necessary.
