A driver caught by gardaí parked outside a primary school in an uninsured car then tested positive for cocaine use.
Gardaí in Kilkenny were out on patrol on Tuesday morning when their Number Plate Recognition System alerted them to the car outside a local school just after 9am.
It had no insurance, NCT or tax.

Gardaí added that there was "no excuse" for such driver behaviour.
