    1. Deferred from 16th December 2022, 31st March, 30th June and 6th October JPC Meetings - Received from Councillor T. Healy:
      “To call on the Garda to carry out a speed check on the R290 from Collooney to Ballisodare and on the Ballisodare to Crowna Church on the N59.  Both are a major concern to residents regarding speed coming into Ballisodare village”
    2. Deferred from 6th October JPC Meeting – Received from Councillor T. Healy:
      “That the JPC ask the Go Safe Company to outline in detail the process of how it is decided to designate a particular Road or location for the positioning of a Go Safe Van? That the JPC request the Go Safe Company to come to meet the JPC to present specifically on the process of designating large area of Sligo Town Centre and how it was decided that the areas of Sligo Town be designated as opposed to what is considered other areas like the R287 which is not designated and is locally considered serious in need of speed reduction measures. The R284 is designated from Carraroe Junction to Glennagoolagh but unfortunately the Go safe Van has disappeared from it and appears to be spending a lot of time on Lower Pearse Road”
