The 27 year old woman who was killed in Cork yesterday was cycling on a 50kph street in an urban area.
The default 30kph limit promised by the govt may not have saved her life but it will save lives in the future. We can't allow them to renege on that promise.

Green light for Strand Road cycle path as High Court rulling overturned by the Court of Appeal
A High Court judgment which blocked a proposed 6-month trial of a cycle route on Strand Road in Sandymount in Dublin has today been overturned by the Court of Appeal. The project included making the road one-way for cars. The judgment was delivered today after a long wait when the Court of Appeal reserved judgment in February 2023. The High Court ruling, which was appealed by Dublin City Council, had been in favour of Peter Carvill, of the Serpentine Avenue, Tritonville and Claremont Roads (STC) group, and Cllr Mannix Flynn (independent).
