GARDAÍ IN DUBLIN have responded to a rise in the number of road fatalities in the capital by launching a new Casualty Reduction Plan.
This includes working the Railway Procurement Agency to install sensors on Luas line crossings at Queen Street and Blackhall Place to automatically detect when a car runs a red lights and what Chief Superintendent Aidan Reid described as “full use of both marked and unmarked robot safety camera vans”.
They have also published a list of the top 10 locations where drivers speed in Dublin, as well as the average speed over the limit cars are detected at. Although vigilance will be increased across the city, these areas will receive “targeted enforcement”.

rain on the way?! you don’t say :D
@ Denise.. “if only it was …’A little’!!!!
Think I’m having a little déjà vu here…
The weather in Ireland is OK. A little rain does no harm.
I don’t know why we have met office. My horoscope is more accurate.
I was just in the Czech Republic at a festival for 7 days and it “rained” once in Prague. I say rained, but it was literally a couple of drops. Looked around the street and all these Czech people were looking up wondering what the hell was happening. Some dose coming home.
The Czech Republic can keep the winters they have every year, those 2 harsh winters Ireland got a couple of years back is the norm for them every winter and sometimes even worse. No thanks.
Here on Orkney, we have had 32mm of rain this month, 16mm between 12 midnight and 8am this morning.
Data collected by our on site weather station.
We missed the deluge at home 2 weeks ago, but we’re expecting more on Saturday.
Shocker
have your say
