Question:95 Mr. M. Kitt asked the Minister for the Environment the current position regarding speed limits in Ballygar, County Galway; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1208/94]
Written Answers. - Local Speed Limits.
Part V of the Road Traffic Act, 1994, which 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, is in effect since 22 July 1994. The preparation and adoption of speed limit proposals in County Galway is therefore a matter for Galway County Council, acting in consultation with the Garda Commissioner. In the case of proposals relating to national roads, the Council must obtain the consent of the National Roads Authority.
