“We have been conducting an increased number of checkpoints and have seen a marked decrease in the number of people over the limit. However, we will continue to enforce checkpoints over the coming weeks and months and again I would advise anyone who is considering drinking and driving to think again and make other arrangements,” Inspector Tony O’Sullivan told The Avondhu.
