Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport

Road Safety: Discussion

2:00 am

Nessa Cosgrove (Labour)

There is a lot of pushback on this and some county councils are not going to do it and it will not be implemented. The first phase is fantastic and really welcome. This group has suggested the introduction of special speed limits and having that be the by-law within the county councils. The default would be that it would go down to 30 km/h but county councils could apply to have special speed limits within certain conditions, as Mr. Walsh is saying. If there were disputes about what is an urban area or not, it would be the other way around, with the default being 30 km/h.
