Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) has been accused of refusing point blank to send its officials to local authority meetings to discuss speed limits it has imposed on the country’s main roads.

Cork county councillors claim they know more about road safety issues locally and have, in cases been backed by the gardaí, but still overruled by the roads authority. They say TII has, in some cases, upped speed limits in areas which local public representatives maintain will lead to serious accidents.
