Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2023-05-24
============================================================

Paddy Burke (FG), Agricultural Panel

Does this take powers away from the local authorities? This amendment would allow the Minister to override local authorities. Is he taking the powers away from the manager? In what cases would this amendment come in? TII makes recommendations for national primary and secondary roads. This relates to roads other than nationally managed roads, meaning local roads and so forth. I did not think the Minister would be getting involved in making recommendations on speed limits for local roads.
