The December clarification contains two points that belong together: support for Motion 2861 and referral for legal advice. On 9 December 2024, Niall Dennehy requested that the minutes record unanimous adoption. Chief Executive Sinéad Carr acknowledged Council support and explained the agreed legal referral. The Council agreed to amend the minutes to reflect the clarification and return to the matter in January. This concerns the meeting record, not a decision setting the limit at Kilmoyler. The rural-local-road default subsequently changed from 80 to 60 km/h on 7 February 2025. Our question: how was that legal referral carried into the January discussion?
