80 People Dead On Irish Roads During Quarter One Of 2024.

So far this year, (during quarter one of 2024), 80 people have lost their lives on Irish roads, sadly the worst record in a decade.

Over the bank holiday weekend, up until 7:00am this morning [June 3rd], 137 motorists have been arrested for intoxicated driving.

On the M7 near Nenagh, Co Tipperary, An Garda Síochána set up a road safety checkpoint, using number plate recognition technology, as well as their mobility application; targeting vehicles approaching their checkpoint, which saw officers arrested one man on suspicion of committing an offence under the Road Traffic Act.
During this check, dozens of motorists were breathalysed to identify those who may have had alcohol or drugs in their system.

Gardaí are currently looking at implementing a system whereby motorists with dash camera footage of road traffic offences, will be able to upload same footage to an online portal system, thus allowing Gardaí to check and possibly use same in road traffic prosecutions.

Bad Moon Rising.

I see the bad moon a-risin’,
I see trouble on the way,
I see earthquakes and lightnin’,
I see bad times today.
Don’t go around tonight,
Well it’s bound to take your life,
There’s a bad moon on the rise.
I hear hurricanes a-blowin’,
I know the end is comin’ soon,
I fear rivers over flowin’,
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.
Don’t go around tonight,
Well it’s bound to take your life,
There’s a bad moon on the rise. Alright.
Hope you got your things together,
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Looks like we’re in for nasty weather,
One eye is taken for an eye.
Well don’t go around tonight,
Well it’s bound to take your life,
There’s a bad moon on the rise.
Don’t come around tonight,
Well it’s bound to take your life,
There’s a bad moon on the rise.
