Justice minister Jim O’Callaghan has been urged to quash thousands of fines issued to motorists by a single static speed camera situated close to “wholly inadequate” signage.

Labour TD George Lawlor said the Government should introduce a penalty points and fine amnesty, after the camera recorded an average of 88 motorists per day breaking the speed limit.
