Laois Gardaí are warning motorists to expect additional Gardaí on the roads over the coming months as a crackdown on speeding gets underway.
“A Laois / Offaly Garda Divisional Speed Reduction Campaign begins today and will continue throughout the summer months on roads in towns and villages all across Laois and Offaly."

"Road users will see an increased Garda presence on approaches to urban areas, with the aim of encouraging drivers to reduce their speed and drive appropriately for the areas they are entering,” Gardaí said in an online post.
They explained that the campaign comes against the backdrop of 37 lives lost on Irish roads so far this year, including 12 pedestrians. ️
“Drivers are reminded that anyone detected driving above the posted speed limit is liable to a €160 fine and 3 penalty points on their driving licence. This can be easily avoided with good driver behaviour. Speed limits are not targets,” Gardaí stated.
They urged people to please slow down and help keep the roads safe for everyone.
