In towns and villages that do not have policing services, many complaints are made about speeding. Even where speed indicators are installed, they do not work. What is the view of the Minister of State on having speed ramps in towns and villages that do not have a policing presence? In many towns and villages where these have been introduced, they are working. They are slowing the traffic down in the streets. They are having an impact. They do not need to be monitored because people slow down when they hit a speed ramp. They should be introduced in every town and village where there is no police presence.

They will save lives and slow traffic and it does not cost the State to police them. They police themselves.
