Huge thanks to Minister of Transport @DarraghOBrienTD , his staff and colleagues from @Dept_Transport for the very positive meeting with the Irish Cycling Campaign in Leinster House today.
Great to see the huge importance the minister places on cycling! 🙏

‘Ireland is a stand-out laggard on climate action’ – taxpayers face bill of up to €26bn bill for government failures on targets.
This includes transport emissions

Kites being flown abt raising the costs of public transport. This would be a ridiculous & retrograde step & will put ppl off public transport esp intercity trains which are already pricey. @Paschald @rodericogorman @TodaywithClaire

Some things to remember when we see the draft PFG re #ClimateCrisis:
🔥 the world is on fire and we need to urgently end our dependence and use of fossil fuels
🔥 “staying the course” ie no backsliding is tantamount to failure as we are not on track to meeting 2030 targets by a considerable margin
🔥 any investment in fossil fuel lock-in in any sector is a waste of public money in the long run and a missed opportunity to invest now in emission reductions that are fast and fair
🔥this is the govt that will be responsible if we have to pay €8-20bn in fines
Vote Sadhbh no.1 for #TCDSeanad

To the incoming Irish government: Abandoning the 2:1 public/active transport investment ratio is a grave mistake.
Active and public transport saves lives, cuts emissions, improves health, and reduces healthcare costs.
Investing in roads over people is a step backwards!

Nearly 4 out of every 10 road deaths in 2024 was of a vulnerable road user.
Pedestrians and cyclists need an urgent push from @fiannafailpartyand @FineGael in the new Programme for Government to fund and accelerate delivery of active travel infrastructure to reverse this trend.

Buses caught in traffic in Cork in their temporary bus lane.
Why are we repeating this mistake in Limerick?
It doesn't work!!!!
Six Cork City buses attempt to snake through St. Patrick's Street, taking nearly 20 mins each to complete this short stretch, excluding the already excessive dwell times. Abject failure by @CorkCityCouncil Councilors to address congestion. Need a morning #PanaBan now.

4 Reasons Why Limerick Council's Public Consultation on the Removal of a Bus Lane Demonstrates Bad Governance 🏙️
A thread 🧵👇
Aine Farrell retweeted
A popular vote seems a cruel way to decide if people should have to stand waiting 5 or 10 minutes longer for a bus in the depths of December. Those voting to scrap the bus lane will pass those waiting while in the comfort of their cars.
Shameful stuff #Limerick, simply shameful. xitter.cf/LimerickCouncil/status…

Closing the O'Connell Street bus lane would be an immensely backward step for Limerick Council to take. It's incredibly disappointing that some local councillors continue to push the idea.
This cannot be allowed to happen.

Storms will be more powerful and more frequent as the global average temperature continues to climb as a result of human activities. We can vote on Friday for the politicians who are brave enough to do the right things to protect us all, restore nature, and reduce emissions.

No need to ever open it again, lads.
Pedestrianising Little William Street would make the entire city centre better and more attractive to visitors and residents, especially visitors, at the stroke of a pen.
Make it forever, not just seven hours.
⚠️Temporary Closure of Roads: Little William Street, Limerick City
Notice is hereby given, in accordance with the provisions of the Roads Act 1993 of the decision of Limerick City and County Council to close the roads as detailed hereunder at the specified locations and times to facilitate a crane for repairs to Brown Thomas roof.

The lights at Bobby Byrnes sometimes skip a pedestrian cycle altogether. And the next set of lights are 450m away at Mallow St. A pedestrian priority / demand-driven set on every block would provide natural enforcement of the urban 30km/h speed limit.

In my lifetime Arthur’s quay park has gone from somewhere you’d avoid, to being a place that’s regularly full of people and families enjoying it. Please resist any plan that cuts it in half to make a shopping centre bigger
Have Your Say!
Limerick City and County Council in collaboration with Metropolitan Workshop is now seeking public submissions on the Arthur’s Quay Framework Plan.
An Options Report is now available at: mypoint.limerick.ie/en/consu…
