Garda crackdown targets reckless drivers

A MAJOR operation targeting reckless motorists is to be carried out over the next two days following two weeks of carnage on the roads that has left 15 people dead.

Operation Lifesaver will bring together the new Garda Traffic Corps, local units and air support in a crackdown on errant motorists on eight major routes across the country.

Motorists travelling from Galway to Dublin, Clare to Mayo, Wexford to Cork, Cork to Limerick and Kerry, Limerick to Tipperary, Donegal to Sligo, Sligo to Cavan, and Dublin to Dundalk will be targeted.
