Here’s our awesome volunteer Niels on enjoying cycling with his son, and why he volunteers with us 1/3
@feljin.ieReposted by @dublincycling.bsky.socialThe BusConnects Dublin Road project in Galway has had planning permission for over a year. No mention of any funding to build it in #Budget2027 or the press releases. It would have greatly improved bus journey times and cycling safety in Galway. #speirgorm
@cyclinginkilkenny.bsky.socialReposted by @dublincycling.bsky.socialApparently another self driving car kills in Ireland. Weird how the motorist, the person controlling the car is not mentioned at all.
@envpillar.bsky.socialReposted by @dublincycling.bsky.socialIn 2019 the Dáil declared a “climate and biodiversity emergency”. In the 2027 Budget there is very little sign that this emergency, now surely much more evident than ever, is being addressed.The Irish Times view on Ireland’s climate policy: rhetoric sounding hollow www.irishtimes.com/opinion/edit...

Ciarán Cannon nails it in this article. Canney is the worst road safety minister we’ve ever had.
He still uses “accidents” in interviews (including when responding to the recent appalling, deliberate wrong-way motorway collision).
@dublincycling.bsky.socialAh, cop on, Senators. When ye can organise enforcement and compliance with front & rear light rules, then come back to us about mandatory hi-viz. And bring evidence. Eejits 🙄

@envpillar.bsky.socialReposted by @dublincycling.bsky.socialNo extra funding for nature, carbon tax U-turn – the Government is clearly walking away from its climate, nature & energy security commitments in Budget 2027. Great to see coverage of our reaction to Budget 2027

You have to wonder what Fine Gael were thinking this morning??
@irishdocsenv.bsky.socialReposted by @dublincycling.bsky.socialPeople need assistance during this fuel crisis, but this is not the way to do it.
Government has bowed to pressure from right wing lobbyists that chain us to fossil fuel dependence.

@irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.socialReposted by @dublincycling.bsky.socialShould we follow this example and make it mandatory to give cyclists a 1.5m overtaking gap? That's the law change this week in New Zealand.
