A motorist driving down High Street in Kilkenny City using a mobile phone will now face the consequences after being intercepted by a local garda on a mountain bike today.
Kilkenny gardaí, in a social media post issued earlier, stated the following about the incident:

"Nice cup of tea for the Garda," the post ended.
