"Every Bank Holiday weekend we give an extra push to Road Safety measures resulting in more arrests for Drink Driving, Drug Driving and Dangerous Driving," a garda spokesperson said.
However, as the operation draws to a close on Monday evening, gardaí are keen to remind people road safety applies all day, every day.
The message from gardaí is clear: "Don't speed and avoid distractions such mobile phones."
