Every day walking, cycling and wheeling takes 530,000 cars off the road in Dublin. Over a year this prevents 4,373 serious long-term health conditions, creates €2.39 billion in economic benefit & saves 120,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions #mobilityweek #WalkingCyclingIndex

Big relief! The planning application for aslot machine hall in Dolphin's Barn has been REJECTED. I'm glad to see they accepted the key point made in my observation: this was an attempt to sneak a gambling establishment in as something else.

Great news today. The planning application for a slot machine hall in Dolphin's Barn has been REJECTED by Dublin City Council. It's a leech of an industry that was trying to sneak through the planning process as something more innocent. Glad that planners have seen through it.
