Vol. 230 No. 10

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Donegal Speed Limit Signs.

21.

asked the Minister for Local Government when it is proposed to resite speed limit signs at Ballyraine, Letterkenny, County Donegal; and if he is aware of the general demand to have this done at a very early date.

The preparation of amending speed limits regulations for County Donegal is almost completed and I hope to make them within the next few weeks. These regulations will deal with all the roads in and around Letterkenny.

We can now take it after two years and four months that the Department of Local Government has decided to take the major step of deciding that the speed limit signs should be shifted up 400 yards, when a national school child could have told the Minister that was the proper place for them in the first instance. If the Minister for Agriculture who was responsible for your job had set about his work instead of prompting you to tell me what you now tell me, he might be doing his duty better.

Whatever about national school children, the local authority did not agree they should go where Deputy Harte says they should go.

A child could have told you where they should go. One of our Senators took it on himself to shift the speed limit signs.
