Covid checkpoints

Will be doing a bit of cross border driving tomorrow, I'll be crossing the border a few times. Are there covid checkpoints in operation? Looking on Google maps, there seem to be short traffic delays on some of the roads.

I cross the border twice a day and haven't seen a Garda anywhere. A colleague has been stopped twice in the past week. This is Lifford-Strabane; there shouldn't be any on non-Donegal borders afaik
Edit: didn't see it was near Dundalk

I'm all above board. Just want to avoid delays, it'll be a long day of driving.
