Proposals for the revision of speed limits in County Donegal, including a specific proposal for the introduction of a 40 mph speed limit at Mullaghduff, were submitted to my Department by Donegal County Council and have been the subject of detailed discussions with the council. The council were subsequently asked to clarify a number of issues but no further submission has since been received from them.
Part V of the Road Traffic Act, 1994 empowers county councils and county borough corporations to make by-laws to apply local speed limits without the need for the approval of the Minister for the Environment. I will commence implementation of that part of the Act as soon as practicable.
