A NEW SPEED camera will be monitoring drivers’ speeds on the N69 in Limerick from Friday, gardaí have confirmed.

A static speed safety camera has been installed in the Ballyhomin area near Askeaton on the N69.

The camera is undergoing final testing and validation and is due to go live this Friday.

“Vehicles detected driving in excess of the 100km/h posted speed limit will be subject to prosecution from 12 midday Friday 14 March 2025,” gardaí said in a statement.

    The USSR is still breaking up. The prediction is that it will split into mutiple states in the coming years.
    China is also massing troops on russias border, that would put the cwt among the pidgeons if they invaded. Fun times.

    @François Pignon: fake news regarding China massing troops on Russias border, in fact they are sending troops to Russia for joint military exercises along with India and a few other nations.
