Mr. Conor Faughnan:

I understand that. I have seen Swedish and other studies on this. It is entirely clear that, for example, if one has a choice of being hit at 50 km/h or 30 km/h, one will fare much better at the lower speed. There is an abundance of evidence about that and no one disputes it, but what is not clear is whether that is actually what is happening.

I recall the debate about a blanket 30 km/h speed limit across Dublin city centre, which I did not support for the same reason.
