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.

This is not the type of Milestone we want to be highlighting, but today marks 1,000 days that MetroLink has been stuck in the planning process

It’s time to start contacting your TD’s!!

Demand answers from them and what the solutions will be!

Once again, the RSA's idea to task citizens with responsibility for road safety seems unhelpful when we have no role in road design and very little influence on the regulation or enforcement of road traffic offences.

This is ridiculous, where is the traffic management plan. Cycling is a legitimate from of Transport.
Nobody should have to dismount, clearly Jonathan can't. I explained this was a concern.
Pedestrian to mix with people cycling from two-way to in a very narrow section of roadway.

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).

Amazing. The Clontarf to City cycle lane closed the road to cars, disrupted the whole area for *years*.

The final pristine cycle lane finally unveiled a bare few months ago?

Today they’re tearing the landscaping, cobbles and the cycle lane up again.

Whenever there's a dry spell, Irish uplands are set ablaze. Why is this STILL tolerated?

There is no, absolutely no, good reason for supersonic civil transport; they exist to make childish squillionaires feel special. Even ignoring the environmental damage, there is no economic case for them. Or the aircraft.
