Hi PKO,

Here is a news article I found on the RTE News website (Irish news site) dated Friday 21st April 2000:

Gatso to combat speeding on Irish roads
This week has seen the introduction of the latest Garda backed initiative to combat excessive speed on Irish roads, speed cameras known as Gatsos. To date this year, 126 people have died as a result of road traffic accidents, including 28 fatalities this month alone. The new cameras will operate on all the main routes out of Dublin and in the Louth-Meath Garda division which has the highest proportion of road fatalities in the country.


As to whether they are legal to use in Ireland or not, I am not entirely sure. I found an article in the Irish Examiner (dated Friday 10th January 2003) stating that they are illegal to use in Ireland, but this was a year ago and I am not sure if things have changed since then.

Here's a link to the article if you want to read it: http://archives.tcm.ie/irishexaminer/2003/01/10/story864827941.asp

HTH.
