Dublin Bay cycle route to cost over

The Mahon Tribunal found Olivia Mitchell to have received an inappropriate payment from Frank Dunlop at the time of the 1992 Election. F.G. Gael has taken no action against her.
Only one in ten people have a bike? I'd say it's more than that. If they have somewhere pleasant to cycle they get excercise which saves the HSE some cash. Also, tourists are money and bike rental is a business. I'd say there's 100k in it in the long term.Originally Posted by Keith-M

The scheme is just starting.
On continental Europe it is normal to goto work and do the shopping by bike.
The Irish just have to realise that if they use a bike they will not be eaten by an alien or be cast into hell for not using a car to drive 500 meters.
If wecare bhuilding special roads for them isn't it time they started paying road tax and insurance. I pay it for potholled roads so they should pay the cost of these special routes. I agree with these though, get these dangerous untested looneys off our road. How come you can be charged with being drunk on a bike but you don't need a license to drive two abreast slowly talking taking up our roads.
In fairness dubliners are increasingly taking to two wheels.
That sanctimoniuos prat Eamon Ryan owns a bike shop I think, so perhaps a smart move by him and the luddite party.
Another lunatic thread from Keith!

keith this belongs in the zoo. nothing to do with the Greens, just like the Dublin Bike scheme.
Some facts would be nice here.
We need to radically change every system that has enabled the wholesale destruction of the Irish landscape, rural and urban. There is no time for incremental step by step measures. The systems have failed utterly and the only hope for a real recovery requires the rule book to be torn up completely.
€100k wouldn't buy you 500m of new motorway so a safe cycle path that links large tracks of Dublin and provides a safe environment to promote more economical and healthier commuting seems like a good investment to me.
Dublin is a smallish, compact and flat city - ideal cycle-commuting scenario if there was a road system that didn’t make cycling a blood sport.
The more things change....
What about the 2 million being spent on having advisors going around schools telling them how to walk to schools. How patronising is that green initiative?
