Motorists have been warned to expect further delays on the M7 this weekend as number of speeding fines on the Naas road widening scheme soars to almost 14,000 since the roadworks began. There are now more than 13,700 fines issued since the roadworks began, Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) said on Friday afternoon. There are more than 3,000 Go Safe cases listed for this year so far, representing fines issued across Co Kildare, including at the M7 roadworks. Other possible solutions being considered are to use the fifth week of some months to hear extra summons cases, and to ask that special sittings with a visiting judge be scheduled. “The Courts Service is being very proactive in this regard and is planning ahead of the expected increase in summons”, the statement said.
