I'd say this will catch a lot of night drivers...

Static speed camera to be operational in Crumlin from August 1st (https://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/static-speed-camera-to-be-operational-in-crumlin-from-august-1st-1786751.html)

A static safety camera will be operational in Dolphin's Barn, Crumlin, Dublin 12, from Friday, August 1st

Vehicles detected driving in excess of the posted speed limit will be subject to prosecution from 12 midday on Friday.

Prosecution of speeding offences takes place by Fixed Charge Notice (FCN). The current Fixed Charge Notice is a €160 fine accompanied by three penalty points.

Gardaí said Dolphin’s Barn was identified as part of a wider national analysis as being a road which could benefit from the implementation of a safety camera.

The location was selected based on fatal and serious injury collision data from the last seven years and speed data, as well as feedback from stakeholders.

Yis have been warned  ::fds

From the map it looks like it will be the School side of the canal .Interesting bit in the Papers ...A garda spokesman said: "Vehicles detected driving in excess of the posted speed limit will be subject to prosecution from 12 midday Friday, 1st August 2025. Prosecution of speeding offences takes place by Fixed Charge Notice (FCN). The current Fixed Charge Notice is a €160 fine accompanied by three penalty points."

POSTED SPEED LIMIT not fixed SPEED limit .I wonder if its to do with School Zone 30 Kpm  at certain times .
