Ireland’s urban speed-limit plan falls short of default 30 km/h approach Ireland’s revised policy on urban speed limits stops short of introducing a national default 30 km/h limit, a measure already adopted in Spain and Wales and planned in Greece.

"ETSC regrets that Ireland has stepped back from a clear national default. International experience shows why a default works."

A reminder that 85 of our urban areas are clearly defined & default could be implemented immediately in those cities and towns.

Leaked internal documents from Germany’s Defense Ministry reveal that Berlin coordinated its testimony with Israel ahead of its April 2024 appearance before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) where Nicaragua accused Germany of complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza through arms exports.

The criticism re Gaeilge was mainly because she was Minister for the Gaeltacht for 3 years & only spent a week learning it.

Using the pandemic as a excuse for not learning it was just silly, considering she was long gone from the Gaeltacht Ministry at that stage.

1918 was the first time Irish women were permitted to vote, & even then only ~women over 30 who owned property~

Is é do vóta do ghuth 🗳️ #Aras25 #SpeirGorm

‘Ireland’s teens are succeeding in school, but struggling in life.’ Could cycling help? In the Netherlands, safe cycling infrastructure liberates kids from their parents – and parents from their kids

"Cycling alone isn’t going to remedy Ireland’s shocking happiness and mental and physical health scores, but the Dutch are getting plenty right, it seems."

Catherine is not in the same lane as Wallace or Daly. She went to Syria in the hope of getting into Gaza. She's clarified her position on all of this.
People will try to muddy the waters but she is an utterly decent person. I just wish there were 100 more Catherine Connollys in the Dáil.

Bígí le Catherine Connolly le haghaidh cruinniú ar líne chun tús a chur le gluaiseacht na ndaoine.

Labhróidh Catherine agus cainteoirí eile, agus cuirfear tuilleadh eolais ar fáil ar na bealaí gur féidir leat cuidiú leis an bhfeachtas.

Motherfucking wind farms…

In a meeting today, Sidsel Birk Hjuler pointed out a facet of motonormativity that even I had failed to see: why do we talk about people using people-sized vehicles as MICROmobility? How did people driving around with 4 empty seats get normalized as "mobility"?

@neasa.bsky.social chairperson of @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social said: “Our restructuring represents a fresh chapter in our journey to make cycling accessible and safe for everyone in Ireland.”

Why has this not been done? There is no mention of any accounting for this at all. Are Galway County Council
trying to pull a stroke?

The public and planners deserve better and more complete information than what has been presented here.

#Galway Ring Road: I’ve now read through the updated Traffic Modelling Report submitted by @GalwayCoCo
to ABP. And I’m more convinced than ever that this project cannot be justified in its current form.🧵

We love to see this.
Fairplay to #StNicolas'Church in #Galway, promoting active travel amongst their visitors & congregation.

Great to see @galwaycitycouncil.bsky.social supporting them.

Garda road policing chief says bigger cars do more damage in crashes Drivers are urged to slow down this Bank Holiday weekend.

Jane Humphries, Chief Superintendent of the Garda Roads Policing unit, said SUVs are more dangerous because of “simple physics”.

Great to see this messaging from @garda.ie.

Why has there been no awareness campaign on SUVs from the #RSA??
