One driver was captured by the Fermoy Traffic Unit doing 172kph in heavy traffic.

A number of drivers throughout Ireland were caught driving at high speeds on what was a busy weekend on the roads for An Garda Síochána. The Gardaí posted a series of pictures on the @GardaTraffic account of motorists caught driving well in excess of the speed limit throughout the weekend, with one driver on the M8 detected driving at 172 kph through heavy traffic on Friday night. https://twitter.com/GardaTraffic/status/784692829733912576 https://twitter.com/GardaTraffic/status/784695542244835328 https://twitter.com/GardaTraffic/status/784877879423340544 https://twitter.com/GardaTraffic/status/785077606043553792 https://twitter.com/GardaTraffic/status/785077840144437248 As of 7 October 2016, 142 deaths had occurred on Irish roads in 2016, 22 more than at the same stage last year.
