182. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will change the 120 km per hour speed limit on motorways to 130 km per hour. [51124/13]
View answerI have no proposals to increase the current maximum speed limit on motorways. Section 9 of the Road Traffic Act 2004 sets maximum default speed limits for varying classes of roads in Ireland. Under that legislation, the maximum speed limit on motorways is set at 120 km/h, except where amended by a special speed limits order made by the relevant road authority.
