Gardaí arrested 36 people three times last year for drink/drug-driving

The youngest arrested driver was just 14 years old, while the oldest was 96

The latest annual report from the Medical Bureau of Road Safety found that males are responsible for 85% of all detections. 

A total of 36 people were arrested three times last year for drink/drug driving while 172 drivers were arrested twice, new figures show.

The figures have prompted a call by the head of the Medical Bureau of Road Safety (MBRS) for fresh efforts to be made to tackle repeat and high-risk offenders.
