Action as part of Mayo gardaí campaign to make roads safer

Gardaí have pulled over a motorist at a west Mayo location after checking its registration on their mobility device.

The vehicle had no insurance or NCT and the driver failed a roadside breathalyser.

Back at the station, the driver was tested and was shown to be twice over the legal limit.

The detection was made as part of an escalated gardaí operation to make roads across Mayo safer.
