Gardai have made 34 arrests as thousands of people descended on Co Donegal for the annual Donegal International Rally.<\/p>\n
There is a large Garda presence in the county for the event, which has attracted more than 70,000.<\/p>\n
Garda\u00ed say that between 7 pm last night and 7 am on Saturday morning, they arrested 34 people.<\/p>\n
However, a Garda spokesperson said the majority of those attending the event were very well-behaved.<\/p>\n
A total of 24 people were arrested for public order offences.<\/p>\n
Garda\u00ed in patrol cars, bikes and motorbikes have launched a hi-visibility campaign to deter any disorder.<\/p>\n
Garda\u00ed from the Roads Policing Unit also arrested six drivers on suspicion of drink or drug driving last night.<\/p>\n
Two others were arrested for criminal damage and another under Section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act.<\/p>\n
Garda\u00ed say their operation will last until Monday with many officers based around Letterkenny, the focal point for the three day motor event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gardai have made 34 arrests as thousands of people descended on Co Donegal for the annual Donegal International…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":510062,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-510061","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/510061","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=510061"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/510061\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/510062"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=510061"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=510061"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=510061"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
