Cork County Council is to look at introducing a 30km/hr speed limit in all its towns and villages in an effort to make them safer for pedestrians and cyclists and reduce pollution.

The majority of councillors supported the move which was requested by Independent councillor Marcia D'Alton, and will be discussed when the local authority carries out a major review of speed limits next summer.
