I think the point is that there has to be realism this time and speed limits have to be appropriate at a local level. Councillors must be involved. They will take expert advice, whether that is from An Garda Síochána or a local area engineer, but the council chamber must have that discretion. When the RSA contacts the AILG this issue needs to be emphasised, so that it can make its membership aware of it. The AILG will determine what it needs in terms of running seminars and different events. It would be very important for the elected members if that happened.
