The drivers were caught with cocaine and cannabis in their systems after roadside tests were conducted by the Roads Policing Unit.

The arrests prompted Gardai to issue an appeal:
When will the message hit home? Do lives have to be lost in order for some people to listen? It is never ever ok to drive under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs. Please do not wait until it is too late to take this message on board!
