A bus driver has been arrested after allegedly being found to be nine times over the legal alcohol limit.

He was detained on the M7 near Newbridge in Co Kildare yesterday evening.

One of the busiest motorways in the country, the M7 is currently seeing particularly heavy traffic due to ongoing road works around Naas.
