Gardaí to use 'secret' vehicles and new speed cameras in push to catch reckless drivers

There were 16 road fatalities in the Republic so far this month, the latest a man in his 80s who died yesterday following a St Stephen's Day crash in Co Louth. 

Gardaí are to introduce more unmarked “secret” vehicles to catch rogue drivers on Irish roads, and up to 100 more static speed cameras.

It comes after nine people died in just nine days over the Christmas period with a further 20 receiving serious and life-threatening injuries.
