Commenting on these detections, Chief Superintendent of the Garda National Roads Policing Bureau, Jane Humphries said: "Our October Bank Holiday roads policing operation has been underway since first thing Thursday morning and while we are generally seeing good levels of compliance with speed limits on roads around Ireland, I am gravely concerned by the risks taken by some drivers and the two fatal road traffic collisions.
"Please slow down and drive safely today and over the rest of the long weekend as so many of us take to the roads.”
