Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Conviction Rates for Drink Driving: Discussion

9:30 am

Ms Moyagh Murdock:

As I said earlier, the setting of the speed limits is an exercise undertaken by the road engineers in the transport section of TII and the local authorities. A major consideration when they set out the initial road design is how the integrate this traffic into mainstream traffic. I trust they have done their homework in that regard. Obviously the Road Safety Authority compiles information on any serious or fatal collision and minor collisions and digitises it on its own system. That information is all fed back as part of the review exercise of speed limits in the future. That is an issue for the TII and local authorities.
