"During the operation, Gardaí reported that over 290 drivers were caught using mobile phones while driving, and more than 95 were found to not be wearing a seatbelt."
"A total of 138 people were arrested for driving under the influence of an intoxicant, such as alcohol and drugs during the same timeframe."
"The force shared its most shocking speeding violations, including one driver clocked at 138kmh in a 50kmh zone on Cashel Road in Cahir."
"Gardaí and the Road Safety Authority have urged all road users to support their efforts to keep them safe on the roads."
Gardaí conducted a high-visibility policing operation that resulted in over 290 drivers caught using mobile phones and more than 95 not wearing seatbelts. The operation also revealed 175 individuals driving while intoxicated and over 4,000 speeding offences. Notable speeding violations included drivers exceeding speed limits by significant margins. Tragically, three fatalities occurred on Irish roads during this period, prompting calls from Gardaí and the Road Safety Authority for increased road safety awareness among all users.
