The controversial Dublin city 30km per hour speed limit will remain in place after votes to reduce the affected area and abolish the measure failed to pass at last night’s city council meeting. The meeting got hot and heavy at times, with councillors scrabbling on technicalities of the discussion – an obvious indicator of tension.
Labour’s Andrew Montague who had proposed the original measure was seeking an amendment to the area that the speed limit affects. This amendment failed to get the requisite 26 votes. As did Fine Gael’s Bill Tormey’s proposal to withdraw the limit.
Watch the discussion here. Interesting to note the mentions of Eamon Gilmore and RTE! (It appears my video has the stutters, apologies)
