Department of Transport u-turns on mandatory helmets and high-vis for cyclists
Mandatory helmets and high-vis for cyclists are now not being looked at by the Government, the Department of Transport has confirmed. The introduction of mandatory Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for bicycle users is "outside the scope of the current measures" being looked at by the Government, a Department of Transport spokesperson has said this afternoon. The Department issued what it terms a 'clarification' about 24 hours after it said that bicycles were included in a move to make helmets and high-vis mandatory for e-, and hours after the Tánaiste, Simon Harris, contradicted the Department's statement from yesterday.

Donald Trump is clearly mad. This is batshit level mad. We've heard of mad Kings in history from hundreds of years ago. This one has access to weapons that could wipe out civilization.

We laugh at him taking 'peace prizes' but it's actually not funny 🥴

Really thought-provoking piece. I could sit with this article and apply its thinking to so many area that I've worked on from a policy perspective - transport systems, Town Centres First approach, language communities and more. Well worth a Sunday read.

My Trade Secrets today. Trump’s Venezuela misadventure has a real conquistador vibe, looting commodities from the Americas for no or negative economic benefit.

Meanwhile the US falls behind in the technology race. If China seizes Taiwan and its chip sector, we’ll see neoimperialism done properly.
