I know some people will be unhappy with this article, but the article is me trying to stick to the facts as much as possible.
My views are even stronger on how poor some of the details are.
Dublin Town etc are right that it should be trialled first so that the council can work out the details.

College Green and Dame Street plaza disregards connected GDA cycle routes
-- Lack of clarity in how people cycling will access the cycle route in plaza area.-- Access route to Bank of Ireland car park to be maintained across the plaza.-- DublinBikes station removed from beside the former Central Bank building. Dublin City Council's Grow College Green Project -- which is a plan for a low traffic area between George's Street and the Luas line on College Green, where buses will also continue to go north-south -- is expected to go to planning this summer, but many of the design elements for cycling and even pedestrians seem to go against guidance and best practices.

An appalling proposal is hidden at the end of the Government’s Bill on the airport cap; it would exclude decisions under the legislation from the current obligation on almost all public bodies to consider their climate impact and to be consistent with climate objectives.

Drivers: If you're waiting for a cyclist to pass so you can come out of a side road, edging forward is a great way to slow the cyclist down since it signals to them that you're not in full control of your car and that they need to be extra careful.

Read our open letter to the Taoiseach and Climate Minister, arguing that there is no legal or scientific justification for delaying Ireland's Climate Action Plan. It's urgently needed to close the carbon budget delivery gap this decade, and further delays will increase overall costs.

It’s missing that as well, but I’m thinking of the M50. The M50 and the lack of transport capacity to/from the airport are the main reasons for the airport’s planning cap, not climate change.

A requirement that cyclists wear helmets and hi-vis would be a challenge for bike-share companies. The government seems to be considering making helmets and hi-vis mandatory for people using some category of bikes, though it’s not totally clear which.
