Gardaí nab tractor driver pulling load of silage while using mobile phone
Gardaí have nabbed a tractor driver pulling a load of silage while using their mobile phone. Roads policing officers were on patrol when they spotted the tractor driver using their phone while behind the wheel on Thursday. Gardaí confirmed that a fixed charge notice was issued to them. They wrote: 'The driver pulling this full load of silage landed deep in it after we spotted him using his phone while driving. A fixed charge notice was issued to the driver.' The penalty for using your phone while driving is a fixed charge of €120, and three penalty points. This increases to a fixed charge of €180 after 28 days, and five penalty points and a more significant fine can be imposed if it goes to court because of non-payment. According to the Road Safety Authority, distracted driving — including mobile phone use — is estimated to be a contributing factor in 20–30 per cent of all collisions on Irish roads. The daily average detected using their phone while driving during 2024 was 60. Over 21,500 drivers received FCPNs last year having been detected using their phone while behind the wheel.

Two teens arrested after brutal street attack on Irish grandfather and grandson in Majorca
The 18-year-olds, who are also from Ireland, were held after witnesses told police they had seen them kicking and punching their compatriots following an earlier row in a tattoo parlour Two teenagers have been arrested over a brutal street attack on an Irish grandfather and his grandson in a popular Majorcan holiday resort. The 18-year-olds, who are also from Ireland, were held after witnesses told police they had seen them kicking and punching their compatriots following an earlier row in a tattoo parlour. The violent incident occurred in Santa Ponsa near Magaluf. The 71-year-old victim and his grandson aged 20 were taken to hospital, with the elder of the two men needing an emergency operation after suffering several facial fractures. The two tourists held were remanded to a local jail after appearing before a judge in court, although they have since paid €2,000 bail and have been freed while a judicial investigation continues. The Civil Guard has yet to make any official comment about the incident. Respected local paper Diario de Mallorca described the early-hours attack at the end of last month as 'unprovoked' and said it occurred after the Irish teenagers were kicked out of a tattoo parlour in the resort's Ramon de Montcada Street after starting to insult and threaten staff and customers. They are said to have told the men they allegedly went on to physically attack: 'What are you looking at? Do you want a fight?' They reportedly waited outside with six other friends for 40 minutes and ambushed their alleged victims as they walked back to their hotel, continuing to kick and punch them after knocking them to the ground. The assault is said to have occurred outside an unnamed fast food restaurant where witnesses afterwards gave police a description of what had happened. The teenagers, who are still being investigated although they are thought to have been given permission to return to Ireland, spent only a few hours behind bars before managing to stump up their bail bond. At the weekend it emerged an Irish tourist had been involved in a death crash in Santa Ponsa. The 38-year-old was at the wheel of a rental car which collided head-on with a 51-year-old German cyclist in the town on July 31. Police spent nearly half an hour trying to save the man knocked off his bike before paramedics arrived and confirmed he was dead and nothing could be done to revive him. No arrests are believed to have been made although a local judge has opened an investigation into the accident. Unconfirmed reports said the unnamed cyclist, who lived in Majorca, had rode the wrong way into the street where the collision occurred. It happened just before 5pm on July 31 at the intersection of Ramon de Moncada Street and Bartomeu Rossello Planas Street. Santa Ponsa. Photo: Getty News in 90 Seconds - Aug 7th
