Reading time: 1 minute
Nearly half of all speeding offences brought to court in the past two and a half years have been struck out because motorists have not been served with a summons, according to the Courts Service.
Figures released to Independent TD Tommy Broughan reveal that 61,059 speeding offences were listed in the court over the 29 months to June 2019, of which 27,899 (46 per cent) were struck out due to summonses not being served.
The proportion of speeding offences which are struck out varies widely by county, with motorists in counties Wexford, Westmeath and Limerick more likely to be served with a summons than motorists in counties Monaghan, Sligo, Mayo and Kerry, the Irish Independent reports.
