In December, Judge Andrew Cody dismissed the charges, criticising GoSafe speed vans for targeting a 60km/h zone he considered unfair, calling the enforcement “shooting fish in a barrel.”
The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) is seeking to overturn a District Court decision that refused to convict over 30 drivers for speeding in Clogheen.
Last December, Judge Andrew Cody dismissed the charges, criticising GoSafe speed vans for targeting a 60km/h zone he considered unfair, calling the enforcement “shooting fish in a barrel.”
At the High Court, according to the Irish Times, the DPP was granted permission to challenge the ruling, arguing Judge Cody was legally required to convict since the offences were proven, and that he acted outside his powers by considering irrelevant factors, including "his own views" on the speed limit and enforcement motives.
The number of prosecutions for Clogheen was similar to those for counties Kilkenny, Louth and Mayo.
A hearing will be scheduled for a later date.
