Garda Appeal

• Gardaí are looking to speak to anyone in and around the Castlemaine Road area of Tralee on the 7th of November, 2025, at approximately 7:20am and who may have been commuting or using the road during school/preschool run.
• Enquiries have established that the offending vehicle was a black saloon or estate type vehicle which was driving erratically and at speed. We are hoping that witnesses may have noted the direction of travel of a suspect vehicle or a registration which could be used to progress enquiries.
