It was a busy morning for gardai in Clondalkin, as two morning checkpoints took place in the area.
Despite the early start, gardai made a number of finds including a drug-driver and vehicles with no tax and NCT.
One driver was found with no tax on their van - as it had expired five years ago!
And another driver was detected to have cocaine in their system and was arrested by gardai.

The driver had no licence, insurance, tax or NCT and was arrested for dangerous driving.
