Gardai have warned that no one will be allowed into Laois, Offaly or Kildare this weekend without a reasonable excuse as lockdown continues.
Operation Fanacht is in place all around Leinster and the midlands to ensure people aren't freely moving in and out of the three counties with restrictions.
Kilkenny gardai have warned that they will be set up at county boundaries throughout the weekend making sure the rules are being followed.
A garda spokesperson said: "Kilkenny Gardaí will be on checkpoint duty as part of Operation Fanacht throughout the weekend on the Kilkenny/Laois border ensuring that persons not residing in one of the three relevant counties shall not travel to Co. Kildare, Co. Laois or Co. Offaly without a reasonable excuse, and vice versa."
Earlier this week gardai confirmed they conducted almost 400 checkpoints around the counties last weekend with similar amounts expected again in the coming days.
On Saturday, 8th and Sunday, 9th August, there were a total of 374 checkpoints conducted in Kildare, Laois/Offaly and all surrounding Divisions (Meath, Westmeath, Roscommon/Longford, Galway, Tipperary, Kilkenny/Carlow, Wicklow and Wexford).
Of these, 172 were in Kildare and Laois/Offaly Divisions, the remaining 202 were conducted in the other surrounding Divisions.
