M1 Gardai Checkpoint

Francie Barrett

All southbound traffic off the M1 was diverted this morning by the Gardai at the Dundalk north junction by the Garda Traffic Corps. I was just waved on, but did see a car of foreign lads being made to exit a vehicle with their belongings. Anyone know what this is about? This is not the first time I have seen this activity take place, always on the same stretch of road.

Illegal immigrant check I'm led to believe.

This morning? THere was a highly publicised one last week or the week before, diverted all traffic off the Ballymac exit southbound checking for immigrants
