Werder ist auch in Kerry. Selbst auf dem entlegensten Wanderpfad am Gap of Dunloe war ein Stück Heimat. Wann spielt Werder Conference League, dass es hier auch mal ein Spiel gibt? @werder.de

Something positive from CHI Crumlin. Maybe 4 years ago I had suggested to erect bike racks at the outpatient entrance. So pleased to see these today, as active travel is possible for routine hospital checks @dublincycling.bsky.social @dublincommuters.bsky.social @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social

Fair enough. Yet, the Development Plan 2016-2022 states 25% cycling share, without the canal limit. Although it remains unclear when the 25% shall be achieved. The earlier GDA strategy 2016-2035 aimed for 8% cycling. thanks for highlighting!

Writing a chapter on active travel & find it disappointing to read how DCC became less ambitious over time. Development Plan of 2005 aims to achieve 15% cycling by 2017, while the Greater Dublin Area strategy of 2022 aims to achieve less (12%) by 2042. @irishcycle.com @dublincommuters.bsky.social

Looking forward to our presention on intergenerational relations and housing @isa-sociology.org Forum of Sociology
The paper is still very much work in progress, but we can provide surprising findings that in some countries homeownership rates of young people are higher than for 65+ olds

Our union @ifut.bsky.social should oppose any plans to reintroduce Celtic Tiger style state funded salary top-ups for US academics. Professorial salaries are already one of the highest in the EU, plus the soft power of English speaking. It will mean fewer jobs for homegrown & European talent.

How fascism works is finally on my reading list. It need an urgent and in-depth update, while the political landscape around us changes. I also hope to draw lessons how to fight it.

Yesterday I captured a Garda driving & using a mobile. Picture quality is poor, but you can see how the driving Gardai puts the mobile down & the screen goes off. He also typed. Should I report this to Garda? Ombudsman? @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social @ibike.ie @righttobikeit.bsky.social @garda.ie
