Seanad debates

Road Safety: Motion.
Senator Norris expressed his concerns about the different speeding limits but, as I understand it, they are a matter for each individual council. I am not sure if I would want to see that changed, although some Senators have asked the Minister to adopt a national approach to the matter. I am a strong believer in the principle of local government and do not think central government should usurp the authority of rural areas. County councillors, who have put most of us here, are well capable of making decisions on these matters.
