Kildare Gardaí have warned that a stretch of road is "not a racetrack".

A total of eight motorists were caught exceeding the 80 km/h limit.
The highest speeds were 142 km/h and 126 km/h.
The penalties are €160 fine and three penalty points.
A Garda spokesperson said: "Ardkill and Kilshanroe are not racetracks.
"Please slow down and drive responsibly."
