As of midnight last night, an Garda Síochána have completed their most recent National Slow Down Day initiative.
Thankfully, there were no fatalities reported following road traffic collisions during the 24 hour period.
Members of an Garda Síochána, along with GoSafe Mobile and Static Safety Cameras, detected a total of 800 vehicles travelling in excess of the applicable speed limit.
The highest speed detected was 164 km/h in a 120 km/h zone.
Locally, a motorist was detected driving at a speed of 73 km/h in a 60 km/h zone in the Ballaghaderreen area.
This National Slow Down Day was the first since the reduced speed limit was introduced for rural and local roads.
