Ms O. Mitchell
asked the
Minister for Transport
if he has received a response from the [826]Dublin local authorities following the communication by him of the list of speed limit revisions recommended by the Automobile Association and the Society for the Irish Motor Industry.
[23046/04]
Minister for Transport (Mr. Cullen):
In the context of an overall review of speed limits carried out against the background of the metrication of such limits generally, county and city managers were asked in January 2003 to examine the position in their areas. The authorities were also asked to examine locations where speed limits might not be appropriate and to take appropriate action. Both the Automobile Association and the Society for the Irish Motor Industry subsequently presented the Department with lists of more than 50 locations around the country in respect of which they had received representations questioning the speed limits currently in place. The details of current and suggested limits, as received from the AA and SIMI, were forwarded to the relevant managers for their consideration. Reports have been received from the four Dublin local authorities in response to the issues highlighted by the AA and SIMI.
