I take it that by "an inner circle restricted zone system" the Deputy means a zone in a city centre which may be entered only by essential traffic under permit, and that he has not merely in mind the indirect restriction of traffic in a city centre by parking restrictions there. The introduction of such a zone would be a matter for the Garda Commissioner and the local authority concerned. I am not aware that such a zone is contemplated for any area.
