Over 30,000 speeding fines issued on Waterford to Wexford road amid signage controversy
The static speed camera on the N25 near Glenmore in County Kilkenny has been the subject of much debate
Over 30,000 fines have been issued for speeding on the Waterford to Wexford road in the past year, amid controversy over a lack of signage.
The static speed camera on the N25 near Glenmore in County Kilkenny has been the subject of much debate since its introduction in May 2025.
Several public representatives have argued that there is a lack of signage on the approach to the camera, which is leading to people being caught speeding.
Now, Wexford TD George Lawlor has confirmed that a total of 30,599 fines have been issued for offences at the location since the speed camera’s introduction.
These fines have a total value of approximately €4.9 million and resulted in the issuing of some 91,797 penalty points.
In a post on Facebook, Deputy Lawlor said that a solicitors firm is now examining the validity of these fines.
The post stated: “New Ross solicitors firm Coghlan Kelly Solicitors have informed me that they are taking on a number of test cases to test the validity of the fines issued from the static speed camera at Glenmore.
“Hopefully this will deliver a positive result for those motorists who have been issued with fines and penalty points by this camera.
“In less than 11 months €4.9 million and 91,797 penalty points have been issued from this camera alone.
“A very simple signage fix is all that is required to allow motorists the time to adjust their speed downwards in a safe and fair manner.”
Last month, Deputy Lawlor raised the issue in the Dáil and addressed his remarks to Tánaiste Simon Harris.
However, the Tánaiste dismissed concerns over a lack of signage and said it was motorists’ responsibility to ensure they do not exceed the speed limit.
