To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if the working group that has been established to review speed limits has received any representation from civic society and community groups, for example, cyclist or pedestrian groups and road safety campaigners; if not, the reason; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

In 2012, I announced that a review of speed limits would be undertaken and, to that end, my Department established a stakeholders group to progress this work. Representatives of the Automobile Association, An Garda Síochána, the Road Safety Authority, local authorities and the National Transport Authority accepted my invitation to participate in the stakeholders group, which has met on a number of occasions since its formation.

I understand that the stakeholders group is finalising its report at present. When I receive the report I will be in a position to confirm for the Deputy if any representations were submitted.
