Kildare County Council have raised similar issues for towns and villages across Kildare.

Almost all roads in Dublin city are set to see their speed limits reduced to 30 kilometres an hour.

It's already in place in most parts, including residential areas, but routes with higher speeds will now also be assessed.

Bylaws will be drawn up by Dublin city council and go out to public consultation.

Kildare County Council recently proposed new byelaws to introduce a 30 kilometre per hour speed limit in housing estates taken in charge by the Council.

Dr Caoimhe Clarke, from Irish Doctors for the Environment, told councillors the impact will be dramatic.
