A DRIVER who was found to be nearly twice the limit for drink driving has been arrested by gardaí.
The checkpoint was carried out by members of An Garda Síochána from the Limerick roads policing division.
It was at Blackwater, Ardnacrusha, Co Clare on Sunday afternoon and was prompted by complaints from members of the public about speeding and dangerous driving in the area.
Gardaí stopped a motorist around lunchtime and the driver failed the roadside breath test for alcohol.
The driver was arrested and proceedings will now commence.
At the garda station, the driver was found to be nearly twice the drink driving limit.
