Here in Ireland the police (Garda Síochána) have outsourced the enforcement of speeding laws to a private company.  This company will operate 45 mobile speed cameras and the zones in which these cameras will operate has been publicised in advance by the Gardaí on their website here: http://www.garda.ie/Controller.aspx?Page=6497

Obviously that site has attracted a lot of attention and has been unavailable for much of the weekend.  However if you dig through the page source code you can see a direct link to the .kml file which shows where the zones are.

If you download the .kml file you can open it with Google Earth on your computer, or you can roll your own Google Map by using the ‘My Maps’ feature in Google Maps but the simplest thing to do is just open Google Maps and paste the URL below into the Search Box:
