The government has told councils to review speed limits in built-up areas with a view to lowering many to 30km/h within 18 months. Transport minister Darragh O’Brien has directed local authorities to review existing speed limits on roads in built-up and urban areas. Councils are to implement the lower speed limits, including the 30km/h speed limits, where they deem them appropriate, such as in cities and towns. Anne-Marie Fuller of the Green Party in Kerry spoke to Treasa as she believes this move would make travelling safer for cyclists.
