GARDAÍ in Limerick were out in force as part of a National Day of Action last Wednesday (January 15) to crack down on driving while holding a mobile phone and distracted driving.

During the operation, Gardaí stopped the driver of a black Ford SUV who was found to be holding a mobile phone while driving through Limerick City.

According to Gardaí, “once stopped, a roadside drug test was performed (on the driver), which indicated a positive result for cannabis”.

The driver was arrested and a blood sample was taken, along with the issue of penalty points and a fine.
