Four arrested in Tipperary for intoxicated driving
Four arrested, and another caught doing over 120km/h in a 60km zone
A driver doing 126km/h in a 60km/h zone on the Waterford Road in Clonmel, are among those who've been caught over the Bank Holiday weekend's Garda Roads Policing Operation, while four individuals were arrested on suspicion of intoxicated driving (including alcohol and drugs).
Three of these individuals were arrested on the M8 motorway outside of Thurles on Monday afternoon, while a fourth was arrested on the outskirts of Tipperary Town on Sunday evening.
The Tipperary Town suspect was also driving while disqualified from driving at the time they failed a breath test. The car was seized, and court will follow.
On the borders of the county, another driver was detected at Piltown in Kilkenny doing 142km/h in a 100km/h zone, and another driver at Screggan in Offaly was found doing 126 km/h in a 100 km/h zone.
From Thursday until Tuesday, gardaí had arrested 121 people for driving under the influence, and there were two fatalities on the roads, both on Sunday.
In Carlow, a motorcyclist died after a collision with a car, while in Donegal a man in his 20s died, and a woman was left seriously injured, after a collision between a car and a 4x4.
