And here's the rainy version...Not so much fun but still on the bike. Stopping for lunch in Happy Out and then nipping in to vote. We're supporting candidates who think big & act when it comes to prioritising environment & making our town a vibrant & healthy place for people

Hard to belive a councillor putting down a motion to remove bollards not long after someone lost their life when bollards were removed. @campaign4frank

I love Eurovision, and watching Ireland’s Eurosong competition has brought me so much joy. I will not however be watching the Eurovision in Malmo this year unless Israel are expelled from the competition, which i believe is the least the EBC can do. 🇵🇸❤️

So, 30.7C recorded.
In Europe.
In January.

Never happened before on the instrumental record. Who knows what else 2024 has in store?

NEW: If you take public transport in Dublin, the max you can pay for public transport in a week is €24 - down from the current €32.

And you will soon be able to get a single, all-in monthly ticket for €96.🚃🚌🚈

This is great news. It makes no sense to have people in addiction left out on the streets without supports.

It also means less drug paraphernalia on the streets.

@OConnorOisin Similar to this update would it be possible to get an update on all current and upcoming active travel projects from the executive like the comprehensive report DCC received recently

[Cllr Lorraine Hall @LorraineHallFG]

I’m appealing to my Council colleagues to vote for #LivingStreets to let #DúnLaoghaire breathe and flourish. Amdts to the plan, such as the removal of Tivoli Rd modal filter, will mean the plan will fail and €20m investment will be lost. ⁦⁩⁦⁩

Bad enough when anyone else does it but @corkcitycouncil should ask people doing work for them to have some respect for other road users and park legally. Very dangerous to not have visibility of cyclists coming down the other lane when overtaking. Especially in ice where you

Our #LeaseBike long-term bike hire service is now six months old, so we thought we'd share some insights on the people who are using the service and the types of bikes they're leasing from us.

Yesterday, @SocDems Cllr. Dave Quinn was in Dáil Éireann to present his Universal Basic Income Model to TD's, Senator's and Officials

@BasicIncomeIRL have developed and excellent, fully-costed model that would have a profound impact in our society.

[Cllr Peter O’Brien @CllrOBrien]

As public rep I’ve consistently bemoaned successive governments eroding elected Cllrs powers.

Then I read this. I’m embarrassed for local democracy.

Dún Laoghaire Living Streets proposal is "in the balance" with fear of project being watered down https://t.co/BrMHPPKYPf

Climate deniers: Dublin Bus are charging electric buses from diesel generators. It's a scam. (Seen by 200k people)

Truth: Bus Éireann are charging 3 buses from hydrogenated vegetable oil for driver training to be ready when chargers become active. (Seen by 1k people)

[Kate Ruddock @kruddock]

Living Streets DL - doing nothing is not an option. I'm all in.
