Superintendent Pat O'Connell revealed that he is "conscious" that we are heading into the Christmas period.

As a result, he has urged motorists to "never drink and drive" and to plan events in advance so that a designated driver can be arranged, or alternatively motorists can leave their car at home.

Cllr Brian McKenna reiterated Superintendent O'Connell's warning, adding that the last thing anyone wants to see is any further tragedies occurring on local roads.
