A man in his 20s has been arrested and charged after failing to stop at a Garda checkpoint in Kanturk, Co Cork, and travelling at high speed on the wrong side of the road.
The driver was pursued by gardaí after he refused to stop at an Operation Fanacht checkpoint in Co Cork on Sunday, April 4th, at about 5pm.
A Garda spokesman said members of the force followed the car at a safe distance and witnessed the driver travelling at high speed, sometimes on the wrong side of the road.
However groups such as gardaà and teachers are continuing to press the Government to reverse this policy.
Gardaà and teachers on Sunday urged the Government to introduce a separate Covid-19 vaccination programme to run in parallel with the new age-based system for the general public.
General secretary of the Association of Garda Sergeants and InspectorsAntoinette Cunningham said her organisation was proposing that in mass vaccination centres, such as City West in Dublin, there could be separate streams that would provide vaccines side-by-side to both those in high risk and frontline occupations such as gardaà and teachers as well as to the general public based on their age.
