Gardaí in Tipperary stopped a tractor with an unsafe hitch on Wednesday night, 24 July.

The Cahir Roads Policing Unit stopped the vehicle and its load outside Cashel. On closer inspection, it was discovered that while the trailer was on the hitch, it was being supported to the tractor with a strap.

Posting on Twitter with a photo captioned “lads what are ye at”, gardaí said court proceedings for the farmer in question were to follow.
