@FortCottage @ReadaCronin Typical Irish politics. Penny wise and pound foolish

[Ciaran Halpin @HalpinCiaran]

@KeithSquinters @DCCTraffic I noticed that too. Taxis backed up the whole length of the road and parked in the bus/ bike lane

@TFIupdates Dublin Bus 80 towards Liffey Valley didn’t stop at Camden St (Pleasants St) today at 10.50pm despite being on the real time info board, TFI app. Numerous people put hands out and bus driver drove past. This has happened before too?!

@VincentBarthlm1 @JackKavanagh12 I think they are Gleditsia/ Honey Locust. They were also planted on Clarendon street and Francis street

@RidleyDM @crosstown_line This circle in Paris must be one of the next densest places!

[Ciaran Halpin @HalpinCiaran]

@SGlennonB @HugoMills Oh absolutely, it’s a similar size, population and geography!

Copenhagen's active transport infrastructure is not perfect—far from it. However, the Danish approach is simple, functional, and efficient, making it highly adaptable and easily replicable in cities like Dublin.

Let’s explore Copenhagen’s #ActiveTransport infrastructure!

The Government have an extra €13b a few weeks before the budget.. We have a list of where to start 😁

• Upgrade the Green line to Metro Standard
• Dual tracks everywhere
• Lucan Luas
• Luas down the N11
• FingLUAS

And for our friends in Cork, & Galway

• GLUAS
• CLUAS

@0w3nHugh3s @thor_com_se All good 😅

[Ciaran Halpin @HalpinCiaran]

@0w3nHugh3s @thor_com_se All of it is Ireland, it’s literally the name of the island

[Lochlann Gallagher @someonewho96333]

€3.8Bn would have built a Luas in Cork.

Instead it was spent on hi-viz jackets and ad campaigns blaming victims for dying on our roads.

Thank you @ClareDalyIRL for hosting this conversation. We, the people of Palestine, appreciate and feel the solidarity from the people of Ireland.
I have learned that we have true friends in Ireland who understand the struggle for freedom. 🇵🇸🇮🇪

History will look back at this moment and the atrocities taking place in Gaza. Thank you for being on the right side.

Please, I ask you all from the bottom of my heart: Do not stop caring. Do not stop talking about #Gaza.
Do not stop protesting. This genocide carried out by the Israeli occupation must end NOW. We must not stop until we have a #FreePalestine!!

@DaraghCassidy I’m starting to think authoritarianism is a good idea…

[Ciaran Halpin @HalpinCiaran]

@yascaoimhin Just saying; my mum has vertigo and travel sickness, so she says sitting at the front and seeing out helps her

[Ciaran Halpin @HalpinCiaran]

@OlaLN This is why we need urban designers and not engineers designing streets!

[Ciaran Halpin @HalpinCiaran]

@DaraghCassidy This never ending circle of questioning vital infrastructure projects in Ireland drives me crazy. Meanwhile, Copenhagen has just completed its 4th metro line and are already in the initial planning phase for its 5th!

[Ciaran Halpin @HalpinCiaran]

@donna_cooney1 This is great! Standard practice in Netherlands and Denmark, shifts the priority to pedestrians and makes walking more comfortable

[Ciaran Halpin @HalpinCiaran]

@cianginty A circular route (metro ideally, or luas) around the canals, using existing lines on the north side and a new line on the south would be great! Like the cityringen in Copenhagen it would add so much connectivity

[Ciaran Halpin @HalpinCiaran]

@OlaLN In fairness protected intersections for cyclists are as rare as hens teeth in Copenhagen
