Throughout this weekend’s Roads Policing Operation, Gardaà are conducting both statutory Mandatory Intoxicant Testing and regular, high-visibility policing checkpoints.
To date, a total of 121 people were arrested for driving under the influence of an intoxicant (alcohol and drugs).
Just over 2700 drivers were detected for speeding offences during the first four days of the operation.
On Friday, another driver was stopped by Gardaà travelling at 90km/h in a 50km on the Ennis to Kilmaley road.
The driver was detected by Gardaà on the R474 at Mahonburgh between Inch and Kilmaley.
During the first three days, just under 310 drivers were detected holding a mobile phone or not wearing a seatbelt.
A Garda spokesperson said: “Road safety needs to be a priority for everyone. Slow down and stick to the speed limit. Never drive under the influence of drink or drugs. Wear your seatbelt and don’t get distracted by mobile devices when you are driving. You can help get another person home safe this weekend.”
