671. Deputy Nicky McFadden asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if the recommendations of the speed limits review will be implemented in 2014; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2299/14]

The Speed Limits Review which I published on the 21st November 2013 contains eighteen actions which are designed to address a number of matters relating to the operation of speed limits on Irish roads.  I have accepted all the recommendations contained in the Report, which will be implemented over a two year period.

I have asked the Chief Executives or equivalents of the bodies involved in implementing the recommendations to participate in a Steering Group which will monitor and ensure the implementation of the key actions.
