Broughan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will report on the progress made to date of the stakeholder group which is undertaking a national review of speed limits; if he will outline when the group will report; his views that legislation may be necessary arising out of the report; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

The work of the stakeholder group established by my Department to progress the Speed Limits Review  is nearing completion and I expect to receive the final report of the Group shortly.  While I will give careful consideration to implementing any recommendations that emerge from the Report, I do not propose to speculate on possible legislation at this time.
