Question:

111 Mr. Connolly asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government his plans to ensure the early removal of inappropriate metric speed signs, particularly in the vicinity of schools; if a review of speed limits is planned; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3701/05]

Written answers

Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. Roche)

The provision of road traffic signs, which include metric speed limit signs, is a matter for local authorities under the Road Traffic Acts 1961 to 2004. The Minister for Transport has overall responsibility for the Road Traffic Acts and for any general review of speed limits. I have no function in the matter.
