The signing, lighting and cats' eyes programme announced by the Minister for the Environment and Local Government will also play a major role in the road safety initiative. I am aware that the Minister is considering the metrication of speed limit signs. I ask him to give consideration to additional warning signs in the Border counties. Drivers from Northern Ireland can become confused when they come into the Republic and do not realise that our signs are metric.
