Amy Ann Mullane (34) of 9 Carrigea Crescent, Waterford, made no appearance at a sitting of Waterford District Court in September before Judge Kevin Staunton.

Garda Natalia Skorzybutpilat told the court that after 3.00pm on 20 January 2026, she was carrying out a checkpoint on the M9 motorway near Garrandarragh, Co. Kilkenny, when she observed the accused driving at a speed of 139 km/h in a 120 km/h zone.

Garda Skorzybutpilat stopped and spoke to the accused and subsequently discovered her children were in the back of the vehicle.

Judge Staunton handed down a €300 fine, allowing the accused four months to pay.
