The road safety message is getting through to some people, gardaí say, after eight arrests related to drink/drug driving in Donegal at the weekend.
Four drink-driving arrests and 4 drug driving related arrests took place across the Donegal division between Friday morning and this Tuesday morning.
Gardaí were out in force over the May Bank Holiday Weekend conducting checkpoints, patrols and speed checks.
“Fixed Charge Penalty Notices have been issued for various offences and a number of vehicles were seized,” a spokesperson said.
“Thankfully we did not have any fatal road traffic collisions in the Donegal Division over the course of the May Bank Holiday Weekend but it is obvious that the road safety message is unfortunately not hitting home with some people.
“We continue to appeal to all drivers to slow down, to drive with care and never to drive while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.”
