Gardaí Urging People Not To Walk Home From Pub After One Too Many

Gardaí are urging people not to walk home after the pub tonight if they’ve had one too many.

Pedestrians are among the most vulnerable road users, with statistics showing that a third of all pedestrians killed on the roads had consumed alcohol.

So far this year, 87 people in total have died on the roads, while over 5,000 drove while intoxicated.

Clare’s Crime Prevention Sergeant Tríona O’Rourke says they’ll be out in force to keep accidents to a minimum around the county – but has this message for pedestrians.
