SIXTEEN arrests were made in the last fortnight in Donegal for drinkdrug driving offences.
Nine arrests were made in relation to suspected drink driving offences, while seven arrests were in connection with drug driving offences in Donegal. All arrests occurred since December 23.
The arrests were made during An Garda Síochána’s dedicated road traffic enforcement operation throughout the festive period, which began on December 1 and continued until Monday, January 5.
A garda spokesperson said: “Our work in relation to safety on the roads will of course continue beyond this operation. Sadly, some drivers continue to make irresponsible decisions on our roads such as speeding and driving while under the influence.
“We continue to urge drivers never to drive while under the influence of alcoholdrugs. Please wear your seatbelt, do not holduse a mobile phone while driving and slow down.”
