🚨Minister of state Ossian Smyth confirms US interference with Occupied Bill – and why Fine Gael blocked it🚨

‘The Occupied Territories Bill was blocked by Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil because the Democratic Party in America asked them to block it.’

This is brilliant. Part of the spine of Dublin's cycle network is complete.

Expect reductions in traffic, air pollution, heart disease, road violence, diabetes and better wellbeing!

“A startling statistic emerged in Paris last month: during the morning and evening rush hours, on representative main thoroughfares crisscrossing the French capital, there are now more bicycles than cars – almost half as many again, in fact.”
