Local authorities to implement 30km/h speed limits in urban areas ‘where appropriate’ from 2027

    I don’t think they mentioned ecological benefits, but accelerating and braking is a lot more inefficient than driving a constant speed. And since there’s no way you’ll be able to sustain any speed higher than 30 in most city areas in Ireland it makes sense.
