This weekend, the Roads Policing Unit from Carrick-on-Shannon conducted an operation in conjunction with Vehicle Inspectors from the Road Safety Authority Ireland examining a number of large Public Service Vehicles (buses) in the county town.

The purpose of this operation was to ensure that these vehicles were safe to carry passengers and travel on our roads.
