Conor Faughnan of Director of Policy with AA Roadwatch joined Gavin Grace on the Today Show to discuss speed limits across the country. They’re to be reviewed as part of an overhaul of the current system. The audit could see limits on some rural and secondary routes reduced, while other dual carriageways and motorways could be revised upwards. Transport minister Leo Varadkar ordered the review that will be carried out by the National Roads Authority and local councils. It’s hoped the review will improve road safety and bring about a reduction in accidents and road deaths.
In response to the discussion Peggy in Connolly Villas in Ennis and Tony on the Shanaway Road in Ennis called the show to highlight road safety and speeding issues in their areas.
