Donegal drivers to face fines after Easter Sunday speeding blitz

Several motorists in Donegal have been nabbed speeding as part of an Easter clampdown.

The Letterkenny Roads Policing Unit detected two drivers well in excess of the 100km/h speed limit on the dual carriageway.

One driver was closed at 132km/h while another registered 129km/h.

Officers were conducting speed checks as part of the Easter Bank Holiday Weekend Road Safety Campaign.

“They detected a number of drivers exceeding the legal speed limit and fixed charge penalty notices will now issue,” a spokesperson said. “Get to your destination safely this Easter.”
