A man is due to appear in court after he was caught driving at an eye-watering 208km/h.

Gardai recorded the man clocking over 200km/h on the M7 near Kildare over the weekend.

The speed limit on the road is 120km/h.

The man was arrested and charged and is due to appear in Naas Court later this month.
