I am informed by the Garda authorities that as part of ongoing policing activity Garda personnel conduct checkpoints both as directed by local Garda management and as considered necessary in specific circumstances. I am also informed that data is not collected on the number of checkpoints conducted and that it would necessitate a disproportionate expenditure of Garda time and resources to collate the information requested.
