These are the likely roads where the new mobile cameras will operate from November  16th 2010.

There will be a total of 45 mobile cameras in vans – covering about 600 locations all over  Ireland. So – the chances of a camera being at a specific location is about  one in thirteen

It is believed the vans will move location every few hours while remaining in the general area, so drivers will not be able to know their exact location.
They will be operated by a private company but will be clearly marked.

These Speed Enforcement Zones in Meath are from Garda.ie.  The zones listed do not seem to match up with the roads shown on the Garda.ie map  – but drivers should slow down on these roads anyway.

The building and construction sector accounts for 8.69% of all the employment in Ireland – according to responses in the 2006 Census.

Some towns depend much more on construction for jobs than others – and could be harder hit if the slowdown in house building continues.

Gort – in Galway has a massive 23% of it’s workforce employed in building – almost one quarter of all jobs in the town.

These are the top ten towns (with populations over 1500) for construction-based work.

 

Gort  23.27%

Kanturk   18.64%

Ballaghaderreen 17.95 %

Carndonagh  17.59%

Dunmanway 16.66 %

Killorglin   16.46%

Enniscorthy 15.4%

Carrick-on-Suir  15%

Duleek  14.95%

Athboy 14.8%

 

The town with the least people occupied in the building industry is  Annacotty – with just 3.16% of the workforce employed in the sector.

The towns of Malahide , Donabate , Portmarnock,  Kinsealy-Drinan and Shannon all had less than 5% of their workforce in the building trade.

All figures calculated from the 2006 Census – taken in May 2006
