A motorist in Carlow is set for a date in court after admitting to driving uninsured without a driving licence - all while under the influence of cannabis.
The motorist was tested shortly after 1 pm on St. Patrick's Day.
The vehicle was seized with court proceedings to follow.
The incident was used by the official Garda Traffic Twitter account to serve as a lesson to those tempted to drive under the influence of drugs: "Never ever drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol", the tweet concluded.
