Fr PJ Hughes has encouraged road users to slow down.

There'll be high visibility speed enforcement across roads in Cavan and Monaghan for the next 24 hours.

A number of motorists were detected travelling at excessive speed in wintry conditions.

628 vehicles were travelling in excess of the speed limit during the past 24 hours across the country.

Already this morning 43 speeding offences were recorded.

The driver will now face a court appearance at a later date.
