On speed limits, there has been notification to local authorities of the legislative changes. Guidance is being finalised and will be issued to local authorities in the coming weeks. As new councillors are elected, that will commence quickly with a view to getting the wider implementation of the speed limits. As the Deputy said, it is about local authorities and councillors working together in the context of the legislation and the guidance, but also using their reserved function relating to local roads. We have previously engaged on that. It is about ensuring that we have a safer default baseline. Councils will then examine each road on an individual basis. That is how the speed limit process will work in respect of local authorities.

A camera-based enforcement strategy group was established in the context of the wider use of camera technology. We are working with An Garda Síochána and the other transport agencies on the wider strategy that is required but also any further legislative changes that may be required in the context of additional levels of enforcement. That work is continuing.
