MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, April 28, 2015

QUESTION NO. 10

QUESTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

"To ask the Chief Executive to have Turret Road, Wheatfield Road, Glenmaroon Road, Woodfarm Ave and Drive, The Oval, Palmerstown Ave and Manor Road, surveyed with a view to introducing a 20 Kh speed limit and a 3.5 tonne restriction and that a report be presented at the May LAC including the schedule for introducing the new arrangements?"

REPLY:

The Council is not in a position to provide 20kph speed limits on any road in the County. There is no provision in law to do so. The Council is currently examining the speed limit bye laws in relation to recent circulars from the department on this matter with a view to commencing public consultation in the autumn. New byelaws will not be in force before the new year. A report will be made to the area committee as soon as the examination is complete.
