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.

Prayer service held for mother and two children killed in shooting incident
A prayer service held for a mother and two children killed in a shooting incident in Co Fermanagh has been told that 'we cannot rationalise what should never have taken place'. Vanessa Whyte, 45, a vet originally from Co Clare, her son James, 14, and daughter Sara, 13, were killed in a suspected triple murder and attempted suicide at a house in Maguiresbridge on Wednesday morning.

Parish priest Fr Tom Fitzpatrick said that Ms Whyte was a woman who loved her children 'fiercely', and wanted the best for them. He described how she worked hard and laughed a lot, and carried burdens 'we may never fully understand'. Advertisement Fr Fitzpatrick added: 'Vanessa Whyte and her son James and daughter Sara, the unspeakable tragedy that has befallen our parish is something that is very hard to focus in on and get our minds around. 'But we're here, and that's the main thing. And we are here as well, not just praying for the three of them tonight in a very special way, and asking the Lord to take them to himself, that they be at peace. And I know they are. 'We're also here to remember and be a support for (Vanessa's mother) Mary and her family, and the siblings. They're at home tonight, they decided not to come. It might be easier for themselves, and for ourselves here too, maybe if they were just looking in online from home. 'So we're thinking of them in a very special way. Tonight we come to remember Vanessa and to hold Vanessa's family.' Advertisement Three candles representing Ms Whyte, James and Sara sat on the altar. Those gathered were told that she was a woman who 'gave and gave'. 'Vanessa was a mother. She was a daughter, a sister, an aunty and a great friend to so many people,' Fr Fitzpatrick added. 'She was a woman who loved her children fiercely she wanted the best for them. She worked hard, and she laughed a lot, and she carried burdens that we may never ever fully understand. Advertisement 'Her life was incredibly precious. James and Sara, young lives just beginning, so full of promise, so loved, so full of light, they've been taken away from this world all too soon in a violent way. 'We just find it impossible, my dear friends, to make sense of any of it. We cannot rationalise what should never have taken place, what we can do is remember the pain that we feel now, that pain is borne out of love. 'If we didn't love Vanessa, and so many of you would have known her, and if we didn't love her children, we wouldn't be grieving. This heartbreak is the price we pay for love, but it is also love in itself that will help Vanessa's family and all of us indeed, to carry it over the weeks and months to come. A prayer service was held for Vanessa Whyte and her children (PA) 'Mary, I know you're at home and you're listening. She was Vanessa's beloved mother, and her grief is a very deep ocean indeed. Advertisement 'No mother should ever have to endure this. And yet, Mary, I know, will find herself surrounded by people who care deeply. 'She will meet them over the next number of days. These same people, all of us here, will stand beside her, not just during these dark days, but in the days and the weeks to come as well.' He said the family's hearts have been 'fractured beyond belief'. 'You have lost a sister, a niece and a nephew, and there are no words that can fill the space that they have left behind. But you're not alone. 'You are held by a community of people who are walking with you through this darkness.' A murder investigation has been launched, while an adult male remains in a serious condition in hospital. It is understood that the funeral of Ms Whyte and her two children will take place in Barefield later this week. On Saturday, detectives from the major investigation team, who are carrying out the murder investigation, said they are continuing with their inquiries and appealed for information involving the movements of a vehicle. Detective Chief Inspector Neil McGuinness said: 'Our investigation is ongoing and we are working tirelessly to determine the exact circumstances of this tragedy. 'I would continue to appeal generally for anyone with information to come forward, and more specifically, I would ask anyone who saw a silver Mercedes saloon car being driven in the Clones Road area of Newtownbutler, or between Maguiresbridge and Newtownbutler, on the evening of Tuesday July 22 to call detectives on 101, quoting reference 276 23/07/25. 'Anyone who was travelling in the area and who may have captured dashcam footage which could assist, please get in touch.' The man who remains in a serious condition in hospital was a member of the same household, the PSNI said.

Trump attacks ‘probably illegal' payment to Beyoncé over support for Kamala
Donald Trump has called for Beyoncé's prosecution, accusing the singer of accepting millions of dollars to endorse the Democrats' 2024 campaign. The US president claimed the superstar was among a number of celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey and activist Al Sharpton, to 'probably illegally' receive millions of dollars in exchange for their backing of Kamala Harris at last year's election. There is no evidence that any of those named in the president's social media post were paid to endorse the Democratic campaign. 'I'm looking at the large amount of money owed by the Democrats, after the presidential election,' Mr Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. 'The fact that they admit to paying, probably illegally, eleven million dollars [£8.2 million] to singer Beyoncé for an ENDORSEMENT (she never sang, not one note, and left the stage to a booing and angry audience!),' he added. Mr Trump also claimed Ms Winfrey had received 3 million dollars and Mr Sharpton had been given 600,000 dollars in exchange for their support. 'Kamala, and all of those that received endorsement money, broke the law. They should all be prosecuted!' he added, writing in partial capitals. Responding to the accusations, a spokesman for Obama said: 'These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.' The allegations come as Mr Trump raises a series of unfounded claims about the Democrats and pressure mounts on him to release more details about Jeffrey Epstein, the paedophile and financier with whom Mr Trump was friends. The Republican leader has been plagued by allegations that the White House is withholding information linked to the convicted paedophile, despite promises to release them to the public. Earlier this week, Mr Trump hit out at Barack Obama, posting an AI-generated clip of the former US president being arrested in the Oval Office and claiming there had been Russian interference in the 2016 US election. He also demanded the Washington NFL team change its name back to the 'Redskins', saying it was 'what our Indian people' wanted and that he would block its attempt to build a new stadium in the city if it did not. The Harris campaign has previously denied that Beyoncé was paid for her endorsement, with Federal Commission records showing they gave her production company 165,000 dollars to cover costs. Tina Knowles, Beyoncé's mother, said in November that the accusations being made against her daughter were a 'lie' and the singer had also covered the cost of flying her team to and from the 2024 event in Houston. Writing on social media at the time, Ms Knowles said: 'Beyoncé did not receive a penny.' The pop star appeared alongside the then vice-president at a campaign rally in Houston last October, where she spoke out in favour of reproductive rights and said it was 'time for America to sing a new song'. Ms Winfrey has also hit back at accusations that she received money to endorse Ms Harris's political campaign, saying in November that she was not 'paid a dime'. The television show host made a surprise speech at the Democratic National Convention in August 2024 before joining Ms Harris onstage at her 'Unite for America' event a month later. Ms Harris's campaign team paid Ms Winfrey's production company 1 million dollars to cover the cost of the live-streamed rally. Posting on social media at the time, Ms Winfrey said: 'My production company Harpo was asked to bring in set design, lights, cameras, microphones, crew, producers… to put on a live production. I did not take any personal fee. 'However, the people who worked on that production needed to be paid. And were. End of story.' Shortly after levelling accusations at the talk show host, Mr Trump claimed several television networking companies were also 'political pawns of the Democrat party' and called for their licenses to be revoked. He said: 'NBC is down in viewership almost 28 per cent this year… They are an arm of the Democrat party, and should be held accountable for that. Likewise, Fake News ABC!!!' Mr Trump's comments came during a five-day trip to Scotland, during which he is visiting his golf courses and meeting with Sir Keir Starmer, the prime minister, and Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission. The White House has played down the significance of the meeting with the prime minister, saying the two leaders are unlikely to announce any policy breakthroughs. The meeting is instead being framed as a relationship-building opportunity before Mr Trump's official state visit in September.
