A Garda conducting a speed check
A woman who drove at speed through Porthall in east Donegal has been fined in court.
Tracy Miller was fined €400 at Letterkenny District Court.
Garda Garrett Monaghan gave evidence of operating a speed check at 9.40am on March 3, 2025 on the R265 at Porthall when he detected a grey Nissan Juke travelling at 76km/h.
The section of road in question is governed by a 50km/h speed limit.
“It’s a built up area,” Garda Monaghan said, adding that he subsequently stopped the vehicle and showed Miller the speed.
A fixed charge penalty notice was issued, but was unpaid by Miller, a 35-year-old of Elmwood Green, Castlederg, Co Tyrone.
Judge Emile Daly convicted Miller - who was not present in court - and fined her €400, allowing four months to pay.
