Drivers - Slow down in bad weather. The life you save may be your own.
19 Apr 2025
Gardaí across the country are responding to a number of single-vehicle collisions this morning.
Drivers are to be advised that following the heavy rainfall, road conditions are trickier than usual.
Please exercise caution, reduce speed and anticipate surface water on the roads.

This is a very important distinction. So many people seem to think that investing in public transport or bike lanes means that they are going to have to give up their cars. Providing transport choices benefits us all.
Better public transport and safe cycling infrastructure isn't about taking away people's freedom to drive - it's about giving them the freedom to not have to drive

Do you own a vacant space above a shop or commercial premises?
The Vacant Above the Shop Grant offers up to €135,000 to convert vacant upper-floor spaces into residential use, while retaining the existing commercial premises.

On #WorldBicycleDay, let’s remember that road deaths and serious injuries are not inevitable. They are the result of choices about road design, enforcement and investment. We can build roads that are safe for everyone. The question is whether we have the will to do it.

Today is #WorldBicycleDay. Every person who cycles is someone’s child, parent, partner or friend. No one should have to risk their life to get to work, school or home by bike. Safe roads aren’t a luxury, they’re a basic right.

Just looking at the RTCs for the #Killarney area over the last five years. The majority of RTCs listed involved injury or death to a human who was cycling or walking. When people wonder why females don't cycle, this is the issue: safety - little enforcement and infrastructure.

You know you have a mainstream cycling culture if this is how helmets👷 and hi-viz🦺 are used to support -instead of hamper- the active lifestyle of children.

Just under 2,200 cyclists took part in this comprehensive survey on safety on Irish roads. Their message is clear. We have serious issues, and they demand urgent action.
@DarraghOBrienTD @RSAIreland @GardaTraffic
Cycling Ireland’s Road Safety Commission has published the findings of its most comprehensive member survey to date, painting a sobering picture of the safety crisis facing cyclists across the island of Ireland. The report, based on responses from 2,191 experienced cyclists from across the island of Ireland, reveals that a majority of riders now feel the roads are becoming increasingly dangerous.

If designed inclusively, bike infrastructure offers independent mobility to those with physical impairments who are left behind by car dependence.
For many people housebound or reliant on others, two—or three—wheeled travel isn’t just a form of movement, it’s one of empowerment.

"Residents won't use bikes or scooters."
"Commuters won't use bikes or scooters."
"Tourists won't use bikes or scooters."
And then something magical happens when you create a network of bike lanes.

"Whatever their nose shape, pickups, SUVs and vans with a hood height greater than 40 inches are about 45% more likely to cause fatalities in pedestrian crashes than cars and other vehicles with a hood height of 30 inches or less and a sloping profile."

A pedestrian hit at 25 MPH gets bumps & bruises.
A pedestrian hit at 40 MPH gets a funeral.
Please slow down.

Dr. John Legge, emergency medicine consultant at St. Vincent’s, writing in today’s @IrishTimes about the flawed policy of mandatory hi-vis for vulnerable road users.
“It seems that any measure to improve road safety but which may inconvenience drivers cannot be considered.”

“Bologna in northern Italy saw road accidents fall by 13% and fatalities decline by around 50% in the year after it became the country's first major city to impose a 30 kph speed limit in January 2024.”
Lower speed limits save lives.
Ireland hesitates, and people die.

Helsinki, a city roughly the same size as Dublin, has had zero road deaths over the last year. How?
1. 30kph speed limit.
2. Better public transport.
3. Better street design.
4. Better law enforcement.
5. Courage
#Helsinki🇫🇮 jshows us: It is possible to go a full year with zero traffic deaths.🚶♀️🚲🚗
Not a matter of luck.
But a matter of policy.
🚗 Slower streets
🚲 Protected bike lanes
❎ Safer crossings
📝 Data > excuses
Vision Zero works.
Cities can choose safety.
Who’s next?

The easier it is to hop on a network of bike lanes, the more people ride bikes. Straightforward stuff.
Build more bike lanes!

Great to see a Luas included as part of the Galway Transport Strategy. Guaranteed short travel times are a big motivator for public transport use #TransportForAll

A valuable flute went missing yesterday from the owner's bike on the way to a lunchtime session in Cassidy's in Camden St. It has huge sentimental value and a reward has been offered.
If anyone sees it, please send a DM.
RTs appreciated.
