Gardaí stunned after recent incident encountered in Kilkenny
Gardaí in Kilkenny have taken to social media to share details of a recent encounter on the ring road that left experienced gardaí 'stunned'.
"Even lads who have been policing for two decades are sometimes stunned by the reckless attitude that some motorists have," a garda spokesperson said.
"Our Roads Policing Unit were out last night (Sunday) and stopped a learner permit holder on the ring road.
"The driver failed an oral fluid test, positive for cannabis and cocaine. He also informed our members he had drank a naggin of vodka. Car seized. Driver arrested.
"Thankfully this person is bound for the courts and did not destroy the lives of others this time."
