Sixty-one new speed camera zones become operational on Irish roads this morning in efforts to reduce speed-related collisions while road traffic fines are set to double. 

It comes as four people died in road traffic collisions in the space of 24 hours in recent days, including a couple in their 30s in Limerick, a man in his 40s in Mayo, and a 19-year-old man in Kerry.
