Close to one thousand motorists have been caught speeding on Irish roads in the last 24 hours.

Hundreds of speed detection points remain in place across the country as part of An Garda Siochana's 'Operation Slowdown'.

75 people have died on Irish roads since January, and the June Bank Holiday has been deemed the most dangerous weekend of the year.

Brian Farrell, Communications Manager with the RSA, is asking motorists to slow down allow plenty of time for their journey.
