The Green Party has welcomed Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council’s decision to lower certain speed limits in the County from 11 January 2010.

“The Green Party has previously sought the introduction of 30km per hour speed limits in built-up areas and I’m delighted to see the Council introduce them in Dún Laoghaire.
