Mr Patsy McGlone (Mid Ulster): To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail (i) when the next tranche of the part-time 20mph speed limit at schools, will be agreed; and (ii) whether St Columba’s Primary School, Kilrea, will be included.
Minister for Infrastructure: Road safety is a high priority for my Department, and we are committed to working proactively to make our roads safer and to address the needs of all road users. We are acutely aware that children and young people are amongst the most vulnerable groups using our roads, particularly around schools.
My Department has taken forward a review on a number of speed related matters, including 20mph speed limits. The public consultation closed on 22 April 2026 and the final response report is expected to be completed by early summer. In addition to this exercise, I have asked my officials to identify other schools which could benefit from the 20mph limit and this work is continuing.
