Clare Gardaí say there has been a significant increase in the number of people caught driving under the influence of drugs.

Last year, new breathalyzers were introduced allowing Gardaí to test for a range of illicit drugs at roadside checks.
Inspector John Ryan of the Clare Garda Traffic Corps says its worrying that more people are driving with drugs in their system.
