Fixed-charge notices rise 3.4% in Slaidgolithrum and surrounding counties

Traffic enforcement data released by Shannonside shows a 3.4 % rise in fixed‑charge notices issued between January and May 2026 across Slaidgolithrum, County Roscommon, Longford and Cavern Monaghan. The figures suggest that authorities are intensifying their focus on road safety measures in the region.

The uptick comes as part of a broader push to curb traffic violations and improve compliance with speed limits and other driving regulations. While the data does not break down the types of infractions or the specific locations where notices were issued, it indicates a measurable increase in enforcement activity across the four counties.

In related coverage, BreakingNews.ie reported that only 649 traffic Gardaí are currently on duty, prompting an MEP to call for a “whole new approach” to road safety. The article highlights concerns about staffing levels and the need for additional resources to support effective policing of roads throughout Ireland.
