Nine people caught driving under the influence in Donegal during bank holiday weekend

Gardaí detected a number of road traffic offences across Donegal over the bank holiday weekend, including one driver caught travelling at twice the speed limit in Carndonagh.

The motorist was detected travelling at 100 kilometres an hour in a 50-kilometre zone on Church Road.

In Letterkenny, another driver was arrested after allegedly travelling at 110 kilometres an hour in a 60-kilometre zone and subsequently testing positive for cocaine.

This was one of nine detections for driving under the influence in the county.

Nationally, around 4,200 motorists were caught speeding during the first four days of the bank holiday road policing operation.

Garda Gráinne Doherty gave this morning’s Greg Hughes Show an overview of the operation in Donegal:
