Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 April 2013
246. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his plans to undertake a national speed limit review; the type of roads that will be covered by such a review; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19606/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraI announced last year that I had established a Group, comprising all relevant stakeholders, to carry out a review of speed limits in the country. This Group, which is chaired by my Department, includes representatives from the local authorities, the Automobile Association, An Garda Síochána, the Road Safety Authority, the National Roads Authority as well as the National Transport Authority. Much progress has been made and I expect to receive a report from the Group shortly. I will give careful consideration to implementing any recommendations that emerge from the Report.
