An Garda Síochána supports our partners in transport safety as the second red light camera at a railway level crossing will commence operation at the Farranfore Level Crossing in Farranfore, Co. Kerry at 12pm on Tuesday 6th October 2026.
Gardaí work closely with Iarnród Éireann, Transport Infrastructure Ireland and local authorities, including Kerry County Council, to help ensure people’s safety at the many railway level crossings located around the country.
This camera will assist Gardaí to help prevent red-light running and detect motorists speeding.
An Garda Síochána, along with our road safety partner GoSafe, will process and prosecute any infringement by road users.
The cameras will record motorists using level crossings and automatically detect:
• Proceeding beyond a stop line when red lights are flashing at a railway level crossing, which is subject of a Fixed Charge Notice (FCN) of €80 and two (2) penalty points.
• Speeding, which is subject of a Fixed Charge Notice (FCN) of €160 and three (3) penalty points.
This camera is the second of up to six which will be used across a number of level crossings around the country.
Quote from Assistant Commissioner Ferry, Garda National Roads Policing Bureau.
"We welcome this next stage of co-operation with our partners in transport safety. The effective use of this kind of technology will greatly help us to keep rail and road users safe through enforcement’.
