If you want safer streets, less pollution, a nicer environment, better public transport, it’s
not enough to say, “yeah that’s a great idea” - you need to register your approval and support.

Otherwise the negative voices will appear to be the majority!

Quite amazing what the mayor of Bogata did way in advance of other cities. citychangers.org/enrique-pena...

Photo of a replica canon on a Galleon.

A decaying historic building with shabby doors and trees growing through its plaster.

The perfectly recreated galleon “Andalusia” is visiting Cork.

An example of that country’s pride and awareness of her maritime history.

She is moored alongside the historic customs buildings in Cork.
An example of this city’s contempt for its maritime history.

Sold and allowed to rot

Seriously?

Don't let Ford and his cronies divide us. Let's unite for real solutions to our massive congestion and road safety issues.

We all want to get home quickly, safely, and with a limited amount of yelling at other humans.

The Climate and Health Alliance met Minister Darragh O’Brien on the 21st of May to push for stronger action on air quality, active travel, and public transport. CHA urged faster retrofitting, a public and active transport funding boost, and fossil fuel ad bans to protect human and planetary health!

Headline of the year in the Irish Times

Plans at 'advanced stage' for all-electric ferry service linking 17 locations across Cork harbour Harbour Link said it is in ‘advanced stages of planning’ for Cork’s first passenger ferry service in over 100 years.

This is brilliant!

Pretty sure there are plenty of anchor points. I'm getting one, soon find out

its the german crate that I want.

the person who designed this really needs to be taken aside or sent on some course on bike lane design. It is absurd how it is designed. The fact that cyclists are also supposed to navigate across slip lanes excludes anyone but the most competent cyclist. Crazy and infuriating

Suggesting that not every short journey needs to be made in a car inevitably leads to the question, "How do you expect me to transport my van load of tools?"

Leo Varadkar doing a survival challenge TV thing, which is fine. It would be great if he could be asked to walk some of our national parks in Ireland and see how trashed they are. I do not think our politicians really understand how destroyed our landscape is and how unnatural they are.

Big silly hats off to all competitors

don't mention "the soccer", that is a pair of red shorts to a bull

Useful morning at Dept. of Transport’s Road Safety User Forum, concern at uptick in fatalities. Discussed next phase of Action Plan, including:

🚲 Segregated cycle lanes
🚸 Safe speed limits
📸 Camera enforcement

I do not understand why Hurling is called camogie either. I looked at the wikipedia entry which explains where the name comes from but it is fundamentally hurling so why a different name?

Trial a Strand Road cycle path for 12 months I've just signed this petition calling on the council to trial a Strand Road cycle path for 12 months. Will you sign too?

Dublin City Council won its legal case after years of Court battles. We cannot listen to those who are trying to block quick action on climate change, road safety, and increasing mobility options.

So EU imposing Tariffs on Chinese cars (BMW cars made in China) . So EU think some tariffs are good and some are bad? Is the EU not subsidizing the car industry here too? Sounds like a lot of these tariff wars are about the car industry to me
