The SDLP is a political party in Northern Ireland. The the word 'Southern' means 'Republic of Ireland'.
************************************************* http://www.sdlp.ie/prritchieoneislandonespeedlimit.shtm SDLP regional development spokesperson, Margaret Ritchie, has voiced her fears at new speed limit signs proposed by Southern Minister for Transport, Seamus Brennan: "Putting signs in kilometres per hour in the South could spell disaster for road users across the Ireland. It makes no sense to have road signs in kilometres per hour on one side of the border and in miles per hour on the other. Driving from Donegal to Derry, and from Dundalk to Down will be turned into an obstacle course for road users. Tourists, older people and new drivers will be thrown into confusion. At a time when we are trying to devise an all-island policy on roads, the Southern Minister for Transport must take this into consideration when putting forward his new proposals. He should know that one island should have one speed limit." *************************************************
