Anti-crime Garda checkpoint today on Kildare border
Gardai revealed that a number of fines were issued after motoring offences were detected near Leighlinbridge, just off the M9.
Garda patrols are also in operation in the area to support the Operation Thor checkpoint.
The Operation Thor initiative is targeting rural crime with high-visibility patrols on possible routes being used by roaming burglary gangs travelling between Dublin and rural counties.
Earlier this month, an armed Garda checkpoint operated on the back roads between Dublin and Kildare near Kilteel.
