Noel Ahern (Dublin North West, Fianna Fail)

I suspect from my days in the local authority such a decision is more relevant to the local authority in question. In Dublin there are three tonne limits, areas where trucks are forbidden and a HGV cordon around Dublin Port which was introduced by Dublin City Council. I am subject to correction, but banning trucks from a given area is a matter for the local authority rather than the Department.
