There are fears that persistent speeding in the Phoenix Park will cause an "inevitable tragedy" at its busiest thoroughfare.
Recent figures from a Freedom of Information request revealed almost all drivers at Chesterfield Avenue are breaking the 30 kilometre an hour speed limit that is in place in a certain section of the park. The area is close to Dublin Zoo which attracts many young children and families and has recorded the most frequent speeding offenders.
Green Party TD Patrick Costello said that the lack of law enforcement on this issue was worrying and could potentially spell disaster to the visitors of the largest city park in Europe.
