Over 1,000 Speeding Offences Were Detected Over The Bank Holiday Weekend

Including a vehicle travelling on the N7, in Castlewarden.

During the first four days of the bank holiday weekend, there were three fatalities as a result of traffic collisions on our roads.

This brings the total number of fatalities on Irish roads this year to 14.

In excess of 1,000 drivers were detected for speeding offences during the first four days of the operation.

Notable top speeds detected included a vehicle travelling 125kph in a 100kph zone on the N7, in Castlewarden.

The risk of a fatal or serious injury road traffic collision is at its highest between midday and 3pm on each of the four days of the St Brigid’s Day Bank Holiday Weekend.

An Garda Síochána is appealing to all road users to never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
