The driver is facing prosecution.
Earlier this week, members of the force pulled over a tractor and trailer in Co Kilkenny. This time, wrapped silage bales appeared on the trailer without any safety device securing them to the flat-bed trailer.
Gardaí also highlighted the poor condition of the trailer's tyres.
