Gardaí have launched Operation NEXUS this evening following the Donegal Rally Ceremonial start in Letterkenny.
Operation NEXUS Donegal Rally features one of the newest vehicles in the Garda Roads Policing Fleet, a Volkswagen Golf. This car was initially seized during an operation that uncovered large volumes of illegal drugs and unexplained cash.
The patrol car is now used for road safety education to help keep people safe during the Donegal Rally festivities. This project involves modifying the car within legal limits by Gardaí, with input from car enthusiasts, particularly young male drivers.
Gardaí will provide detailed information on the modifications and the legal considerations involved. These information notes will be published on the Operation NEXUS webpage on the Garda website. They can be accessed by scanning interactive QR codes on the car with any smartphone.
The aim of Operation NEXUS Donegal Rally is to engage the community, promote road safety, and ensure everyone enjoys the rally festivities safely.
