Ambulance delayed to scene of an accident on M50 due to drivers on hard shoulder. Strong reason to support camera enforcement. Driver impatience & ignorance results in delays to emergency services attending a serious accident. Dread to think of the consequences of this behaviour!

In other news, 97.6% of cars sold at start of 2020 were not electric.

Half those car trips in our urban areas are less than 5km.

Electric or ICE, it's a lot of energy to move a person.

Extend the EV grant to include e-bikes!!

Minister Finance announces his dept lookin into intro of tax on free car parking.He added tongue-in-cheek, 'notwithstanding to the very obvious delight of civil servants in all departments including my own'. A measure like this would hugely complement bus connects guess the year?

in 1942 Thomas Whelan from Killester was given 3 years in Mountjoy Prison for selling stolen bicycles. It was hoped his sentence would help bring an end to the epidemic of bicycle thefts in Dublin - in 1942 5,000 bicycles were stolen in the capital.
