Episode Details

A Clare garda superintendent claims there's still a "large cohort" of people taking to the county's roads while under the influence. Across the June Bank Holiday Weekend last year, one person lost their life in a road traffic collision while four serious collisions resulting in severe or life-threatening injuries took place. A total of 167 people were arrested for suspected driving under the influence of an intoxicant over the same period. Superintendent in the Clare/Tipperary Garda Division Eddie Golden says gardaí are coming across individuals intoxicated while driving far too often.
