    Feel sorry for the journalist with this beat since nobody comments, so keep up the good work.

    Should also be an article on how the Sinners have gagged their supporters on the topic of IRA rapes, the kangaroo courts, and Jerry’s lame excuses.

    A driver in Roscrea was clocked by Gardai traveling at a speed of 200kmh, 120kmh over the posted speed limit. Should be an article on that and the fact Gardai have launched a ‘Slow Down’ safety initiative, which is asking drivers to reduce their speed from 7am on Friday (October 24) to 7am on Saturday (October 25).

    Other figures for the speeding detections so far this year
    -A driver in Roscrea, Tipperary, travelling at 220km/h in a 120km/h zone
    -A driver on the M9 at Danesfort (Kilkenny/Carlow) travelling at 145km/h in a 50km/h zone
    -A driver in Dunleer, Louth, travelling at 144km/h in a 50km/h zone
    -A driver on the M7 at Cherryville (Kildare) travelling at 141km/h in a 50km/h zone
    -A driver on the R390 at Loughnavalley (Westmeath) driving at 141km/h in a 50km/h zone
