FF Finance Minister meets FF Transport Minister to discuss delivery of Dart+ South West, a project neither of them have funded as the respective Government Ministers’ 🙄 *Spoilers* It’s not “on track” because there’s no money for the tracks!! www.leinsterleader.ie/news/kildare...

Dublin Bus has a book club for anyone looking for recommendations and already at the end of the #Booktok list Book club members even get a 10% discount in Chapters www.independent.ie/irish-news/i...

“If all of that money was put into light rail, you could have maybe six Luas lines in Dublin for the same price.” This is the same Michael McDowell who was famously one of the main objectors to the Luas; saying it was an ‘expensive toy train set’ 🙄 m.independent.ie/irish-news/m...

You solve congestion on the M50 by delivering quality public & active transport infrastructure Please take the time to respond to Brian’s Survey below

This is obviously worst case scenario planning… but it’s really exposing just how bad Dublin gets hit by volatile fossil fuel prices Government didn’t fund BusConnects expansions in 2026 & haven’t funded 3 of the Dublin Luas projects… 🤷🤷‍♀️ m.independent.ie/irish-news/w...

JR’s have been cleared for Finglas Luas, there are lots of questions remaining since the lands now won’t be purchased for the project Also, Government still haven’t funded construction until at least 2029 so it won’t be happening anytime soon www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/co...

Day 4 of the fuel protests * O’Connell St is still blocked * Green line still not running cross city * Bus diversion info on the Operators websites * Big blockade on the M50 Northbound at J3 Lots of bike share schemes in the City & Suburbs for those who want to cycle

Day 3 of the fuel protests and the massive disruptions continue. Government have announced that the defense forces will be deployed to start removing vehicles this morning We recommend the Transit App for realtime tracking, please share your bus location & help people get around

Fuels counter-protest this evening! ⏰ 5.10pm 📍 Garden of Remembrance 🚲 Cycle to Dáil End fossil fuel dependence 🌏

Massive disruptions continue today due to the fuel protests in the City Centre causing lots of diversions & delays to buses & trams Green Line Luas isn’t operating between St Stephen’s Green & Dominick stops www.thejournal.ie/bus-luas-tra...

We spoke to @news.Rte.ie Morning Ireland earlier about the departure of Sean Sweeney & the impact to MetroLink’s delivery timeline

Mostly it’s because consecutive Governments haven’t prioritised, nor funded public Transport properly It’s 20 years since the Green & Red line Luas launched… there’s a million more cars on Irish roads in that time They’re still underfunding it as well www.rte.ie/news/analysi...

Another Airport bus gets withdrawn from service because of corporate profit margins Meanwhile, the M50 is still at capacity and Government are removing the airport cap

Government must prioritise sustainable transport in any emergency relief funding The solution to the rising cost of oil will never be tax reduction. It’s better cycling infrastructure, more frequent & reliable public transport and Work from Home measures

Plans have finally been released for the Train Depot that was removed from the Dart+ West project as part of the planning permission It will include an upgrade to Kilcock Station with Twin Tracking to facilitate train stabling Consultation is now open www.dartplus.ie/en-ie/projec...

*UPDATE* The screws have now been removed by a local resident The Council did respond immediately but the Community had already taken care of it by the time they got there

Cyclists Beware!!! There are reports of sabotage in the cycle lane on the Old Cabra Road inbound near the Maple Centre Someone has drilled Torx screws into the cycle track and it’s damaging tyre’s Be careful if you’re cycling in the area

Everything you ever wanted to know about MetroLink from @TheB1m Excellent overview of the history, politics, & construction plans for Dublin’s most anticipated Transport project youtu.be/T_Jz9xzOoO4?...

Cycling numbers in Dublin up 50% 78% of people support #Love30 being rolled out and the Minister continues to do nothing Yet Darragh O’Brien is still looking for the magic pill to solve congestion…

If Minister Darragh O’Brien is looking for ideas to solve Dublin’s Congestion problems… we produced a document 18 months ago that’s a road map for doing exactly that!! www.dublincommuters.ie/post/a-commu...

Transdev’s contract as operator of the Luas will not be renewed A joint venture between Keolis & Amey is expected to take over Keolis reached out to us as part of their bid and seemed to prioritise customer experience www.irishtimes.com/business/202...

We spoke to Newstalk’s The Hard Shoulder about the latest saga with mandatory Hi-Vis jackets Lights are already required for night-time cycling, mandating hi-vis for everyone won’t fix non-compliance by the few Enforcement is the answer link.goloudplayer.com/s/sG01BRFZ38Yr

🪧Protest in Cabra this Saturday for Safer Streets Don’t let Dublin City Council ignore the Communities voice - Planning Laws are there for a reason 🗓️: Saturday 21st Feb ⏰: 11:00-12:00 📍: Outside the Go Petrol Station, Old Cabra Road

A decades worth of disruption is on the way which will exasperate the ongoing congestion issues. The passenger cap removal won’t help either This is what happens when you continuously delay vital public transport projects www.dublininquirer.com/dublin-city-...

The College Green plans have been released by Dublin City Council and another Consultation opens today Really great to finally see what this transformation will look like www.dublincity.ie/grow-college...

Yesterday we spoke to the Oireachtas Committee on Transport & we highlighted the various failings of this Government on road safety The ongoing failure of Vision Zero The Systemic failure of the RSA And the impact of Default 30kph U-Turn

We will be appearing in front of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Transport to speak about Road Safety this morning from 09:45 today Highlighting the impact that continuous roll-backs of safety measures by Government Ministers is having on our roads www.oireachtas.ie/public/_reso...

We’ve been campaigning for more secure bike storage in Dublin and the suburbs for years, so it’s great to finally see a trial First ones will be on Capel St. & Grafton St. and will be ready for secure bike parking in the Spring

If they’re talking about illegal eScooters & Bikes, there are laws that simply need to be enforced If they’re talking about requiring helmets & hi-vis jackets for bikes & legal eScooters…. It will be vehemently opposed by us, campaigners & bike share companies

We fixed your headline for you RTE The driver killed the woman with his vehicle… please speak to your editors www.rte.ie/news/regiona...

Ourselves, @dublincommuters.bsky.social, @galwaycommuters.bsky.social, & Cork Commuter Coalition wrote to Iarnród Éireann & the NTA today, asking them to cease posting real-time service updates exclusively on X. This vital info should be widely available. Read below: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Dublin Bus are offering €15,000 for innovative ideas on how to improve their services www.dublinbus.ie/press-releas...

Nobody expects transport infrastructure to happen overnight but they do expect it to happen. People want to use public transport, they want to see the delivery of infrastructure and of quality service. Stagnating projects and empty promises are not good enough.

Every now and again this gets recommended by an elected official, it’s obviously quite silly when you dig into it Private motorists don’t need more space when traffic is light, & when there is congestion buses need the priority

We spoke to Newstalk earlier about the soft-delay announcement to Next Generation Ticketing, now not making an appearance until 2028 www.newstalk.com/podcasts/hig...

While Government have been celebrating the €360m annual active travel budget and the opening of an office… the reality for Dubliners is 3/4 Councils have had their budgets cut And that doesn’t account for inflation Only the Ministers area of Fingal has had an increase 🤔

It seems Deputy Cahill didn’t learn his lesson about the consequences of his recklessly dangerous driving in the 90’s We expect a comment by @fiannafailparty.bsky.social or @darraghobrientd.bsky.social about their colleagues continuing poor decision making

Deputy Michael Cahill’s excuse for driving 190km/ph… He was late to a function he had organised We wonder if he’d accept that excuse if someone appeared at the Justice Committee with it 2 year ban isn’t enough for that type of reckless disregard for public safety

“Entitled” is the right word… but we’d use it differently to describe the Judge The real nightmare would be the traffic if the tens of thousands of cyclists in Dublin every day all decided tomorrow to hop in the car www.carlow-nationalist.ie/news/nationa...

Even we’re now starting to lose track of the amount of rollbacks of basic road safety commitments from this Government No safe road speeds No restructuring of the RSA No automatic camera enforcement Oh and we’ve just had the worst year for road deaths in a decade

Annnddd… there it is TII will be buying the 12 properties in Dartmouth Square The homes sell anywhere from €1.35 - €2+ million without the incentive of a JR In the end it was about money… nobody was surprised

MetroLink Judicial review has been withdrawn While this is welcome news… The Dartmouth 19 have almost certainly been successful in whatever their demand was The JR system has to change, plans like this cannot be held to ransom

Dublin is now the 11th most congested city in the world & 3rd in Europe Governments answer: End 2:1 spending ratio to roads Delay public transport projects Seemingly cancel parts of the Rail Review Cancel RSA repurposing so it’s actually effective www.irishtimes.com/ireland/dubl...

Apparently the benevolent Don O’Neill; MD of Manhattan Peanuts said they’ve taken the JR to save the “cost to the taxpayer” Despite the fact that if they’re successful the plans will be scrapped costing us millions Feel free to email them your thoughts www.manhattan.ie/contact-us-s...

Manhattan Peanuts Ltd have taken a judicial review against the Luas Finglas project This is an important time of year for crisp companies… lots of hungry people in pubs Remind them with your wallets that they shouldn’t hold up essential public infrastructure

“Farcical” is the only word that can be used for this Government’s decision to rollback the “binding” decision to disband the RSA Maximum pressure needs to be placed on them to deliver safe roads in the midst of rising road deaths www.thejournal.ie/rsa-disbande...

Another day, another rollback of Government commitments After all our campaigning for an organization focused on road safety, They’ve decided to do nothing in the midst of rising road deaths What an absolute disgrace www.thejournal.ie/rsa-disbande...

Engineers, Government Backbenchers, Opposition TD’s, Advocacy Groups and the General Public have all been calling for restoration of the 2:1 spending and public transport delivery Yet the Ministers continue to focus on roads.. it’s ridiculous www.irishtimes.com/transport/20...
