Now seems to be an appropriate time to remind everyone that this is what you collectively voted for.

A full day of almost nothing but adjournments by the major political parties with all talks about a budget that affects you taking place where nobody can see them doing it.

We've had councillors (many of them from the two parties who will de facto and de jure decide the money available to get stuff done in 2025) decry the bad maintenance on housing, the lack of housing provision, crappy unmaintained & uncleaned streets...

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor Anne Hidalgo’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.

Good trade.

I really wish I had enjoyed it like some reviewers, but I thought #Babygirl was cringe. I didn't believe any of the actions came from the characters. The script had holes deeper than the Marian trench. Maybe NK is too big to fail...? #nope #film #cinema
"Babygirl" was a mishmash of half-formed ideas. It fails to captivate as a thriller and certainly doesn't break new ground in the erotic genre. I found myself looking at my watch for the last twenty minutes, and I'm baffled as to why Nicole Kidman chose to take on this role.

Opening the bus lane on O’Connell street to car traffic will do nothing except make the city an even more hostile place to pedestrians. This “survey” is the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen in a while. Anyone can vote and you can vote multiple times 🙈🙈

Hands off O'Connell Street, #Limerick bus lane. One councillor suggested, "Let's give it a go." How about taking the correct approach and doing a traffic survey first?

Here is the submission I made. If you have the time, please submit your comments.

I hope this helps! @lmkurbancycling.bsky.social

A handful of traders, supported by like-minded councillors, are attempting to use Christmas trading as an excuse to open the bus lane permanently on O’Connell Street, #Limerick. Forget about the yes-no poll—email your support to maintain the bus lane to travelandtransportstrategy@limerick.ie.

Limerick traders are struggling because not enough people are living in the city—not because there are not enough cars. Public transport plays an essential role in a thriving city, facilitating easy and efficient movement for residents and visitors alike. 1/2

Shane MacGowan who died a year ago today

A hungry sound came across the breeze
So I gave the walls a talking
And I heard the sounds of long ago
From the old canal
And the birds were whistling in the trees
Where the wind was gently laughing

The Cllrs in #Limerick are just so fucking frustrating. They spent ages ripping plans for O'Connell St of any real improvements for pedestrians & now after lots of time & money they're trying to rip out the bus lane for the Xmas. Any progress is just offensive to most of them.

Remember this picture every time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."

This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s.

Many of the cities we admire made better choices regarding cars in the past. and are still making better choices today.

Better choices instead of excuses.
