Call for lower speed limits in estates

The mother of a six-year-old boy who was knocked down and killed while playing near his home has appealed to Taoiseach Enda Kenny to back her bid to impose 20kmph speed limits on housing estates.

Sinn Féin is to push for changes in the law in the Dáil today as Roseanne Brennan continues the vigil in memory of her son, Jake, outside the gates of Leinster House.

‘Jake’s Law’ would bring in a standard speed limit across all residential estates.
