Gardaí urge caution as Easter comes to a close

The county's roads will be extremely busy today as people travel back from visiting family and friends for the long weekend. 

Extra patrols, checkpoints and an increased Garda presence is in place on the streets of towns and villages throughout the Bank Holiday weekend with a focus on road safety.

Garda Niamh Dooley of Cahir Traffic Corps says before you undertake a long journey drivers should check their vehicles.
