It's like appealing to people to slow down while driving....
The War on Cars@thewaroncars.bsky.social · 3h agoAppealing to our better angels just isn't enough, apparently.
a reminder that the much-hyped new e-scooter regulations have not yet taken effect. it's almost as if existing laws were sufficient and the Gardaí could have simply been enforcing them all along
The Journal@thejournal.ie · 3h agoOver 160 e-bikes and e-scooters were among the items that have seized during Tuesday's day of action among gardaí in Dublin. jrnl.ie/7122443
over 4,400 drivers were detected for speeding offences, 370 drivers were found to be holding a mobile phone or not wearing a seatbelt". www.instagram.com/p/DbnbAZfjXf...
Does this level of law breaking by drivers not suggest that we need Garda operations such as this one on a 24/7 basis & not just at bank holidays? "Between the period of Thursday 30 July – Tuesday 4 August 2026, a total of 169 people were arrested for driving under the influence of an intoxicant,
A fair amount of account deletions or suspensions here the last few days it seems
We need a Minister for Road Safety who understands the seriousness of the problem, and is committed to fixing it. we don't have one.
The government has been very quick to talk about e-scooters recently, but they are silent on the ever-increasing numbers of deaths on our roads - of pedestrians, cyclists, motorbike riders, drivers, and passengers.

They've changed vendor in our place for a lot of the services we use for the data platform, and wrap around services. Four years of knowledge and a good working relationship out the window and it honestly feels like starting from scratch. It's draining
Happened to hear the Lord Mayor of Dublin talking about e-scooters on Radio 1. He said that people in social housing should be banned from using one! WTF? He wasn't put off when told that this was discrimination. He just doubled down muttering about anti social behaviour! #Ireland #SpéirGhorm

Bike parking enabling 60 hospital staff to cycle to work is a win for the taxpayer
Comment & Analysis: A cost of €85,000, or €1,416 per space, for a secure bicycle shed for the National Maternity Hospital is cheap compared to building car parking, which is estimated to cost €5,000 to €85,000 per space in 2025. Added to this are the health benefits of staff cycling to work, including the general finding that active commutes mean fewer sick days (sources: …

The way we stop upland fires is dramatic rewetting and rewilding of our hills and reducing emissions like it's a life or death situation... Using every lever available to the state domestically and internationally to immediately cut emissions everywhere. It's literally the only way we can stop them

I was driving back from the ferry down that direction and couldn’t help but notice the scale of the project. And still no safe active travel link from the ferry at Ringaskiddy toward Cork City?
Greenways should be built in a way that limits environmental impacts, but I'm finding it strange how some keep being hyper focused on the impact of greenways but never seem to mention motorways/large roads -- the M28 is just the current example of how such rip through land: youtu.be/aU-2_kr7mnM?...

I’ve spent the last year working on a project called “Islands of Accessibility”. It seeks to highlight the experience of non-drivers in a world not designed for them. I’ve started an archive space on instagram if you fancy following along there. www.instagram.com/islands_of_a... #speiregorm
