@GardaTraffic That's a bit of a joke, I was on the N4 this morning driving at 100 km/hr and there was a continuous stream of vehicles passing me. You need fixed cameras !!!!!!!!

@GardaTraffic@RSAIreland We should have fixed cameras on all roads . All this stupid talk about reducing the existing speed limits when there are literally thousands of people breaking the limit every day and the law is simply not being enforced. ENFORCE the law and reduce the fatalities
Over 375 drivers were fined every day in the first six months of 2024 for driving in excess of the speed limit.
From 7am tomorrow morning, we will conduct a 24-hour National Slow Down Day across the country, supported by @RSAIreland#SlowDown
@GardaTraffic We saw 2 guys trying to steal a bike outside the Bons Secours hospital in Glasnevin at around 1pm on Friday last.The bike alarm went off and they scarpered both not wearing helmets just Balaclavas.
Yesterday morning these two scramblers were reported stolen by their owner in the Dún Laoghaire area.
Our Dún Laoghaire members kicked into action straight away canvassing around for sightings of motorcycles.
In just six hours they recovered both bikes perfectly intact.
The Trinity College campus is closed to the public this evening, with security on the gates only allowing staff and students with ID to enter the site.
It is understood it is related to claims a student protest may take place

@jamesfahey15 Probably estimated! Real bill is probably over €300. Absolutely disgusting what's going on. My provider Electric Ireland has put up standing charges by 35% in May and another 10.9% in Aug that's 50%
Jesus Mary and Joseph and the wee donkey this is my summer electric bill I sent in the reading last week it’s doubled from last summer and I’ve had no heating or lights burning and drying all my washing outside only put on immersion heater for half hour to take a shower 😳
Cahir Gardaí on patrol yesterday intercepted this vehicle after observing a disqualified driver. Disqualification confirmed via #MobilityApp. Driver arrested and charged to court. Vehicle seized. #SaferRoads
The Commercial Vehicle Unit stopped this truck on the M50 recently when they saw the driver using their phone.
A Fixed Charge Penalty Notice was issued.

@GardaTraffic About time ! It's so frustrating to see cars in the bus lane every day and you're just stuck there looking on and they get away with it !!
Sometimes the great wotk of the Civil Defence goes unseen. But yesterday, Christmas Eve, they transferred a young boy from Crumlin hospital to West Cork to spend Christmas with his family. 10hrs & 650KMs. Outstanding support, which we hugely value @HSELive
