20 arrested for drink driving in Cavan over festive period

Gardaí in Cavan made 20 arrests over the Christmas and New Year period in relation to drink driving.

It follows the launch of the district's ‘Better Driver Behaviour’ campaign, launched back in November, following which there was a significant increase in Garda presence, as well as checkpoints in the run up to and over the festive and New Year.
The campaign is scheduled to run up until the middle to end of this month.
Prior to Christmas Day, there were a total of seven detections in the Cavan area, with eight more in the Bailieborough area.
