Or the fact that that's an option that someone can transform someone else's life like they for the worse, is prob not a fair thing that someone can be allowed do?

Quite annoying how politicians will say how dreadful and sad it is how 20 tenancies are getting evicted. But transforming that into policy doesn't materialise

Taken from reddit. But this Galway commuter has tracked their rainy days while cycling! Very interesting, and as an ex Galway commuter myself, id believe it. I would say 1/5 days required rain gear.

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

I am reminded of the words uttered by a Giro cycle helmet designer in an interview with Carlton Reid in Forbes journal:
“We do not design helmets specifically to reduce chances or severity of injury when impacts involve a car,” said Richter.
“The number of variables is too

Another example of #HiVisFail for our government in #Ireland intent on mandatory hivis & helmet wearing for all bike users.

Infuriating! Make cycling safer by preventing vehicles from crashing into them, not by policing what they wear.
I have no words for this absolute disaster. There's so much research showing this kinda step doesn't work re safety, and will destroy any chance of getting people on bikes and will end city bikes of any description #speirgorm #ireland #cycling #cyclists

What a wildly stupid idea.
Mandatory helmets and high viz is a proven remedy to reduce the number of people cycling. It effectively kills off things like Dublin Bikes.
That's why no other EU country does anything like this. Pure madness.
Agreed, either sh*t or get off the Jacks! Hoarding planning permissions for their balance sheet is a sin imo
Agreed. Following Beaumont Dr's with expertise in head trauma advice on transport policy, despite their vast knowledge, isn't right. They're subject to a sampling bias based on the v tough cases they deal with.
There's going to be a lot of people quoting flawed research that apparently supports helmet wearing using wild percentages, but it's been shown to be low quality research and for ethical and/or resource issues will such.
Meanwhile, higher quality research and looking at the wider picture...
Turns out our bookings got modified mid day, so a-G train got replaced with mk4 as you said, and I assume everyone got a new seat
@railusersie.bsky.social 17:00 cork train from Heusten missing a carraige, lot of confusion on seats and bookings etc.
And there we have it folks, having failed to do anything to halt the injury and death toll on our roads the government now plans to criminalise cycling.
This will kill bike share schemes around the country. @bleeperactive.bsky.social

The Irish Cycling Campaign will be appearing before the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport today.
The focus today is on Road Safety.
We look forward to discussing the importance of a public health-led, safe systems approach to road danger reduction.

We got very lucky South today. Dublin was Sposed to be a washout

'It’s time to restore faith in our bus system'
I'd add:
Cleaning the buses (they're filthy)
Ventilation, probably not solvable on the existing fleet but newer buses.
Remove taxis from bus lanes

1400 submissions on the JR costs cap & the majority appear to be questioning the legal validity of this.
But instead of, you know, actually listening to the public, instead the Gov is said to be 'bracing for a legal challenge'. How about they just don't do it?!

Unfortunately it's true. Framing collisions and road deaths as accidents can remove the agency from the people who are responsible, those who chose to distract themselves or drive drunk or speed etc.
No worries! Also didn't realise you're from Mallow, went to Davis (the tech)
