It will see the speed limit in residential areas reduced to 30 kilometres per hour, while further rules later this year will give the option of a 20 kilometre limit.
A number of Tipperary County Councillors have made calls recently for the introduction of the 20k limit in housing estates across the county.
However Minster Donohoe says the setting of the limit will be at the discretion of the local authority.
