Drivers in Tipperary are being warned to expect to meet Gardaí across the county this Christmas.

Thousands will take to the road to spend the festive season with family with long delays expected on many routes.

Motorists are being urged to ensure they allow enough time for their journeys, check their tyres and remain alert.

The Christmas Road Safety Campaign is well underway across the county and gardaí will be mounting extra checkpoints with a focus on mandatory alcohol testing.
