Finglas housing estates limits

I was reading that much of the Finglas test routes within housing estates were proposed to become 30 km/h zones. Went with my wife to do a drive around the area before her test tomorrow and no sign of 30 speed limit signs.

So are they 30 or 50 does anyone know?

I drive at 30 in them by choice but don't want her to get done for progress if they're still 50s and she's sticking to the 30!

Passed my test in Finglas a couple of months ago.

My instructor had told me that the speed limit is 30 in those housing estates. But, like you said, there are no signs anywhere, so while practising, I used to wonder if the limit on a particular street is 30 or 50, especially when it was straight and clear.
Then I came across this document which I found useful since it lists every street to which the special limit applies - https://www.dublincity.ie/councilmeetings/documents/s17195/Draft%20Dublin%20City%20Council%20Special%20Speed%20Limit%20Bye-Laws%202018.pdf

As per the document, it's 30, which is what I stuck to.

Cheers. Told her it was 30. She passed. Good times.
