Garda car
Gardai attached to the Laois Offaly Kildare Division foiled a St Valentine's Day date on Saturday.
Gardaí were conducting Covid-19 checkpoints in Tullamore on February 13 when they issued a number of fines to drivers for non-essential travel.
This included one driver who had travelled from Cork through Offaly in order "to visit a lover."
Gardai said that when the driver was questioned, the journey proved non-essential.
Unlucky in love!
Meanwhile, Gardaí on speed checkpoints in Portlaoise on February 13 detected one vehicle travelling at double the speed limit. The motorist was driving at 105kph in a 50kph zone.
