Banned driver’s car impounded by gardai in Kilkenny

It was one of several incidences reported by local gardai after a “busy few days” for officers in the city.

A local Garda spokesperson said: “As the sun rises, the lads from Unit C Kilkenny are off to bed after a busy few days. Loads of people out last night with the vast majority behaving themselves though several did have to avail of our custody suite.

“There were also the usual mix of other incidents including a disqualified driver, who’s vehicle you see pictured on the truck as it was impounded. To everyone who simply went out, enjoyed themselves and acted responsibly, thank you.”
