Ireland's first mainline speed camera, which monitors vehicle speeds along a particular stretch of road as opposed to past a fixed point, will be launched in Tipperary next week.

The mainline Motorway Average Speed Safety Camera system will be in place in both directions of the M7 between Junction 26 Nenagh West and Junction 27 Birdhill, from 7am next Monday, April 25.
