Whether it is fixed cameras, average speed cameras or GoSafe vans, the use of technology is a vital component of reducing speeding on our roads.

Road safety cameras are intended to be, first and foremost, a tool to support safety, prevention and behavioural change across the road network.

The aim of an enhanced use of cameras across Ireland is to encourage safer driving practices, reduce collisions and protect road users by promoting compliance with speed limits.

Nine static speed safety cameras are in operation across the country since 2024. The locations of these cameras were selected based on fatal and serious injury collision data and speed data, as well as feedback from stakeholders.

The Garda authorities have provided the below table which shows a breakdown of the number of fixed charge penalty notices issued for speed detections from 1 May 2025 to 31 May 2026 at the static speed camera located on the N80.

This data is taken from the Fixed Charge Processing System as at 15 July 2026 and is operational and liable to change.
