Two drivers tested positive for being over the limit following roadside breath tests, but one was later released after a further test in the station.

However, the second person will now receive a fine of 200 euro and a three month disqualification.

Another person was arrested on Thursday night on the Wexford Road in the town after testing positive for cannabis.
