Like many Oireachtas Members, the Minister of State is a former councillor. Councillors are only allowed to put forward speed limit changes every five years. Perhaps that makes sense from an administrative point of view but it makes very little sense from the point of view of the public and road safety, which is an issue the Minister of State addressed earlier. Would he consider a more ad hoc basis by which local authority members, working with An Garda Síochána and road traffic engineers, could propose other changes in the interim?
