No sympathy for them

Just witnessed something mental, a totally effed up car with no brakes driving down the hill out of control on Ballyhooley Road, at St Luke's Cross. He crashed into a cars, before coming to a stop. Driver tried to flee, was stopped by a man on the street then jumped back in the car and turned to drive back up the hill. I called 999 but cycled off when he was coming in my direction. He would have been gone except his wheel collapsed. Looked like a young lad.

Hi all, I was driving on Drumcondra Road near Lidl in bumper-to-bumper traffic and unfortunately made a stupid mistake.
I was following the car in front and completely missed that the traffic light had turned red. I ended up crossing the red signal at the footpath crossing.

There was nobody crossing and thankfully nobody was hurt. I realised immediately afterwards that I had gone through the red.

Just wondering if anyone knows whether there is a traffic/red-light camera at that particular junction? And if so, what normally happens in a situation like this?
I know it was my mistake, just looking to understand what I might expect.
