Feedback from canvassers says climate isnt registering at all on the doorsteps,

Cyclists have shown that where there is a cycle lane in place, that they will continue to cycle on the road.

Anecdotes don't pass muster on this forum, especially invented ones.

The Minister of Transport (who was Green Party) doesn't influence the NTA.
By god.
I've seen it all now.

Minister for Justice must not have any influence in the Guards.

We have had 4.5 years of the Greens in Government. It’s no harm to have them in opposition for a while. They’ve had a totally disproportionate level of influence.

Wait until you see that Labour and the SDs have planned for if they get a stint in government.

The Greens are all about promoting active travel, they never hid that fact.

Are some cycle lanes ill thought out? Of course they are because this is Ireland, the country of half arsed measures where common sense frequently has no part in policy implementation.

The Cyclelanes draft network falls under the NTA, who are answerable to who? Ryan has had no input on transport then for the last 4 years? Particularly the quarter spend on cycle/walking infrastructure. Ryan last year made designing for cyleways /
walking a 'requirement of all transport funding'.

Liam Quade was a Green Councillor until 2023 and pushed hard for a number of very unpopular cycle lanes in the area.

I'm telling you of a real, practical problem encountered In Whitegate. There's a massive volume of tanker truck traffic down there, amongst the busiest roads in the country for that type of traffic. It's totally unsuitable road for what they've done with it.

That Whitegate Road is essential with reference to the supply lines for the provision of fuel to garage forecourts

So much so, whenever the roads need to be treated in cold weather, it is one of the most concentrated roads down this way.

Well what about FG or FF saying stop , theyre just as to blame.

They are but they’ve put the brakes on some badly needed road infrastructure too when there was no need for it. I’m all about public transport but we need roads too.

How have the upgrades to the Dunkettle Roundabout worked out lads?

It’s not perfect but it’s now much quicker for people travelling up the M8 from the N40, East on the N25 from the M8 and indeed up the M8 from the N25 in both directions. The tunnel is still an issue at peak times going west in the morning and east in the evening because it’s a bottle neck and always has been.
