TD caught speeding en route to Dáil

THE Government’s deputy chief whip has been caught speeding at over 100kph on his way to the Dáil.

Billy Kelleher TD was pulled over by gardaí and issued with an €80 fine and two penalty points for breaking the national primary roads’ speed limit on the Cashel bypass, it emerged last night.

The revelation came as Transport Minister Martin Cullen claimed motorists breaking the speed limits were largely responsible for the rapidly rising death tolls on our roads.
