So let get this straight: A lobby group, which did not meaningfully engage in consultation, asked its members for €100,000’s to launch an opposition, the first of which is an economic report that has been immediately discredited? And they say the public sector wastes money.

The Councillors voted for the #TransportPlan twice The new Governance group guaranteed its timely implementation in their agreement The Minister for Transport has called for its immediate rollout How are we in a situation where a lone civil servant can hold it up?

The All-Ireland hurling final is a uniquely special day. Good piece in the The Irish Times outside the sports pages. All the more reason we need more counties capable of dining at the top table… ESPECIALLY DUBLIN!! irishtimes.com/opinion/editor…

We’ve already given a VAST amount of public space to cars. I shouldn’t have to mention how parking like this impacts on people with disabilities, like my mother. Or parents pushing buggies. Or, you know, people trying to walk from A to B. It’s the PATH! DON’T PARK ON IT!

Huge obstacle to expanding active travel is ongoing apparent refusal of Gardai to enforce the law. This places vulnerable road users at risk as offending motorists enjoy virtual impunity. irishtimes.com/transport/2024…

Great to see this level of commitment from dublinbusnews - making the Dublin City Centre Transport Plan work is a priority for all of us who depend on a fast, reliable and efficient bus service to get around.

People driving & at the forefront of the “Says No” groups, manipulated the genuine fears & insecurities of the people from our community - for their own political gain. Lies have torn our area to pieces. The spreading of misinformation & hatred is both destructive & shameful.

An important (but also very entertaining) children's book launches in Dublin on Tuesday. It tells the story of an opted out boy and it tells it sensitively and with humour. If you can go, go! jamesjoyce.ie/events/classro…

You’ll barely notice, but this arterial road is intersected by several side streets. Rather than sinking humans down into the space of crossing cars, the foot and cycle paths are raised, continuous and prioritized—reducing driver entitlement. This should be standard everywhere.
