Festive Traffic Flow 'Won't Get Attention'
There will not be any 'traffic-busting' Operation Freeflow in Dublin this year for the first time since 1996.
A Gardaí spokesman said, however, that police resources in the capital would be concentrated on traffic as part of its Operation Artery, which will run until 8 January.
Around 160 probationary Gardaí were usually drafted in to deal with traffic problems, but there are none available this year because of the recruitment ban.
However, the spokesman said a lot of analysis of traffic movement and awareness of problem locations have been learned over the years.
There will be an emphasis on maintaining traffic movement outside car parks and non-emergency road works will be suspended.
The spokesman said that there would also be a focus on traffic offences such as drink driving, speeding, non-wearing of seat belts, use of mobile phones and cycling offences.
