New speed cameras and a doubling of fines part of new road safety measures.
A former midlands detective believes the doubling of fines for drivers who speed or use a mobile phone, will 'focus the minds' of road users.
Regulations to increase the fines to over 100 euro are to be introduced by the Junior Transport Minister.
61 new speed cameras have gone live this morning, four of which are in Offaly, two in Laois and three in Westmeath.
94 people killed on Irish roads so far this year.
Mullingar's Pat Marry says the goal is not to prosecute, but to persuade:
