Gardaí are reminding motorists to ensure they have the correct tyres whilst driving.

Gardaí carried out the targeted campaign across Thursday and into Friday Morning, and caught over 900 drivers breaking the speed limit.

He was arrested and the car seized, with a court date to follow.

Gardaí are appealing to anyone who was travelling on the N61 between 5am and 6am last Friday and who may have dash-cam footage to contact them.

The motorist had also not taxed their vehicle in almost 4 years.

The fine will increase to €225 if not paid within 28 days.
