Drivers, if you're involved in a crash where someone dies, the police will carry out a forensic investigation on your phone and find every detail of activity in the moments leading up to the collision. #phoneshame #PayAttentionOrPayThePrice @deptinfra @daera_ni

Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins met with local representatives in west Belfast and listened to plans for investment in the Distillery Street area close to Westlink. The meeting explored how accessibility could be improved for the local community and if there are any physical measures the Department can take to help reduce antisocial behaviour that can occur near the Red Footbridge over the Westlink.

By 1 July 2026, most vans and light goods vehicles between 2,501 kg and 3,500 kg used for commercial international journeys must be fitted with and use a Smart Tachograph 2. This requirement applies to any vehicle carrying goods for commercial purposes within this maximum permissible mass range (including any trailer), unless the following two conditions are met – the journey is carried out on an own account basis (i.e. transporting your own goods) and driving is not the driver’s main activity, or another specific exemption applies.
