Nearly 4,000 people have been caught drink driving so far this year, police in the North revealed today.

Almost 100 motorists a week were found to be over the limit during the police anti-drink driving blitz in Northern Ireland, it was confirmed today.

PSNI chiefs are making agonisingly slow progress in transforming grim and heavily-fortified stations across Northern Ireland, a watchdog claimed today.

The PSNI pledged today to catch the “irresponsible minority” in Northern Ireland who drink and drive this Christmas.

Police and troops in Northern Ireland were on full alert today after a failed bomb attack on a high security prison.
