Cathal offers Category B driving instructions in Carlow Town and the surrounding areas

A new driving school, set up by a former member of An Garda Síochána, has been launched in Carlow.

'Safe and Smooth' was set up by Cathal Kavanagh, who was "delighted" to announce the news in a Facebook group called 'All About Carlow.' 

The school was launched on Wednesday, February 4th, with people now able to book lessons. 

Cathal offers Category B driving instructions in Carlow Town and the surrounding areas. 

He retired from being a Garda over two years ago with the idea of setting up 'Safe and Smooth.'

"I qualified as an approved driving instructor (ADI) last year, and since then I've been preparing to start my own driving school," he said on the Facebook post. 

He added that any queries relating to "any aspect" of driving tuition or coaching are more than welcome. 

Many people jumped to the comments to wish Cathal the best of luck with his new adventure, and others guaranteed him future business.

A few people commented that they will be booking their children in once they are old enough to drive.

To book a lesson with Cathal, you can contact him via phone on 085 757 5550 or email at [email protected].
