Gardaí are set to target speeding on rural roads as part of a national 24-hour ‘slow down’ enforcement operation ahead of the bank holiday weekend.

And while hundreds of checkpoints are planned in 1,322 speed enforcement zones during the blitz between 7am on Thursday and 7am on Friday, gardaí said their enforcement will continue right across the weekend.
