Speaking this morning, inspector Peter Gilsenan said: “While we have seen generally good levels of compliance at garda checkpoints across the country, we have still detected people driving at unacceptable speeds and partaking in extremely dangerous driving behaviour such as drug and drink driving.
“Whether there is a road safety operation in place or not, our message never changes – for the sake of yourselves and all road users, please slow down and drive safely. Do not use your phone when driving and never drive under the influence of an intoxicant.”
The roads policing operation has been in place since 7:00a.m on Thursday (August 1) and will continue through today (Monday, August 5).
