Note sure if this is the best place to post this but anyway.....Got sent it in a emial today! Its Just a heads up thought you might travel these routes listed below!!!

The Gardai are starting up a 30 day speeding ticket rally. From what I
hear, every Garda assigned to this has to hand out 1 ticket every 20
minutes. They will be focusing in around this area so watch out.

Sounds like a load of bull to me. But sure if you don't break the law, you've nothing to worry about

wow , the cops are going setup speed traps on major routes and stop people for speeding...... what a crazy idea

On the way in this morning (N3), under the 2nd clonee bridge inbound with a speed trap. I've only ever seen them there once before on the way in.
