An Garda Síochána, in partnership with the Road Safety Authority (RSA) and other stakeholders, is conducting a national speed enforcement operation - National #Slowdown Day – which runs for 24 hours from 00:00 to 23:59 today, Wednesday 9th April 2025.
At the halfway mark of the operation, An Garda Síochána, utilising both Garda personnel and GoSafe mobile and static safety cameras, has detected a total of 350 vehicles travelling in excess of the posted speed limits nationwide.
Examples of high speeds detected in recent hours include:
• 113km/h in a 100km/h Zone on the N15 Drumnagahan Co. Donegal
• 112km/h in a 100km/h Zone on the N10 Templemartin Co. Kilkenny
• 86km/h in a 60km/h Zone on the R147 Dunboyne Co. Meath
• 134km/h in a 100km/h Zone on the N4 Mullingar Co. Westmeath
An Garda Síochána conducts a number of high profile National #SlowDown Days every year. The aim of National #SlowDown Days is to remind motorists of the dangers of speeding, encourage a national conversation on the impact of speeding, to increase overall compliance with speed limits in place nationwide and to deter and detect those that are intent on driving at excessive or inappropriate speed.
Further updates will follow.
