Today, I saw a driver overtake a stopped bus and plough through a pedestrian crossing. He beeped three times as he sped though. The beeping was to warn people because, as he had overtaken a bus, he had zero visibility of who was about to step out onto the crossing.
But sure, more hi-vis, everyone

The importance of visibility on our roads cannot be understated, particularly for vulnerable road users including pedestrians, cyclists, e-scooter drivers and motorcyclists.

Irish media reporting on road collisions too often dehumanises victims and hides driver responsibility. Cyclists and pedestrians are people first — the language we use matters.

In the context of THAT speaking row in the Dáil, important scoop from @thenewshughes.bsky.social today - the new ‘Other Members’ Questions’ slot, mimicking Leaders’ Questions, will be evenly rotated among FF/FG/Ind groupings… so that Michael Lowry gets four times more slots than FF backbenchers

A lovely man and a brilliant broadcaster. Henry was very kind to me at a point in my career when the encouragment of a bona fide legend of the airwaves was incredibly valuable. He was as comfortable in light entertainment as he was in hard news and it was a privilege to sit and bask in his memories.

Latest high resolution charts showing expected lying snow and as you can see they still vary and it will really be a wintry mix of rain, sleet and snow for many. Remember no matter what falls it will freeze Sunday night and not much thaw until Thursday next week. More later.

In 2024 we added 4 x €2,500 grants to the 2% of all revenue we donate. Last one went to Solas Project in D8. They help young people reach their potential who may not have same opportunities many take for granted. We’ll do same in 25. We do this easily with 5 staff. Big business could do loads.

I don't love it either, but I'm not sure how you tell a man that he should let his only surviving son rot in prison to respect norms, institutions, and the rule of law, when the country you devoted your life to serving just pretty comprehensively voted they don't give a shit about any of that.
