Garda warning to motorists

Gardaí in the Nenagh district have issued a warning that drink driving checkpoints will be stepped up between now and the end of the Christmas period.
Checkpoints will be in force during the day as well as by night, and gardaí will also be looking out for people using mobile phones while driving.
One person was arrested on suspicion of drink driving at Belleen, Nenagh, just before 11pm last Saturday.

Meanwhile gardaí in Nenagh have warned people against “jumping” the temporary traffic lights where gas works are currently taking place. A spokesperson advised that such action is highly dangerous and that gardaí would take enforcement action where necessary.
