The Gardai are starting up a 30 day speeding ticket rally.
Every Garda assigned to this has to hand out 1 ticket every 20 minutes. Starting Saturday 1st July, they will launch a 30 day speeding ticket frenzy.
The state estimates that over €250,000 will be generated in speeding tickets. €100,000 will go to pay Garda over time. There will 50 Gardai on duty at all times patrolling on the following:
M7/N7 from Naas to Portlaoise
N4 to Mullingar from Dublin
N6 to Athlone
N81 to Baltinglass
N11 to Wexford
M50
Dublin - Drogheda
There will be additional Gardai assigned to 'flying squads' - mobile units to patrol all other routes in Dublin, Wicklow, Kildare, Meath, Laois, Westmeath, Offaly, Louth and Kilkenny.
Five kmph above the limit can justify a ticket and every Garda is supposed to pull a car over and write a ticket every 20 minutes.
They have issued brand new unmarked cars. If you must take one of these main routes, or surrounding roads beware.
I was told Today FM confirmed all of this (off the record).
So be safe and don't forget speeding tickets mean points. You've been warned.

Is that stay home and do the ironing??

With sexist comments on their site like "We are busy juggling a business/career with keeping a household and rearing children. We are not on the golf course every saturday or in the pub after work!!ClubMan said:Careful now! The wimmin [broken link removed] that sort of stuff!
Men like Clubman give men in general a bad name. It's such a pity we have to deal with such chauvinism- it's so Victorian!!
There are alot of throwbacks on that website - not just the one you mentioned and they are so boorish its hard to push them out of the way to get to the good posts.
Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and beer gut and still think they're sexy!Purple said:With sexist comments on their site like "We are busy juggling a business/career with keeping a household and rearing children.

Here's to empowering women !!!" I don't know how they have the nerve. It must be nice to know that you are being talked about ClubMan.
