Carlow Gardaí have caught motorists speeding on the M9 during the Covid-19 lockdown despite the "reduced volume of traffic".
Carlow Roads Policing Unit, using their new speed detection camera, performed speed checks on the M9 motorway on April 10.
Gardaí said: "Even with reduced volume of traffic, motorists must still obey speed limits. A number of [Fixed Charge Penalty Notices] were issued.
"One FCPN for jeep towing a trailer, for which the speed limit is 80km/h. All motorists stopped had essential journeys to make."
