A person that walks, drives, cycles a bike & runs very long distances. Views expressed are my own.
It scares me so much that if I'm killed by a motorist like this when I'm out cycling, running or walking that my family won't ever get justice in Ireland. What a joke of a sentence!

Wow, outside of a medical episode (which it likely is not), this should be an automatic 10year driving ban for this.

This claim that safe drivers are being unfairly caught by this speed camera is utter rubbish. If you are exceeding 80km and you've past the 80km sign then very simply you are not obeying the law and not being safe. The stretch has claim many lives. It disappoints me any Cllr would debate this.

This is no more a bike shed then a garrage is a car shed. Employees are entitled to safe, secure bike parking. Not badly designed wheel benders with a bit of plastic overhead that covers nothing.

Listening to Live Line on RTE, it's weird that somebody would go on national radio and defend a dead pedophile (Jackson) ignoring all the evidence and instead decides Jackson was innocent based on a "vibe" Based on his demand for 100% evidence, no priest ever sexually abused a child in Ireland 🙄

No points even though they were charged and convicted of careless driving. A pathetic outcome. Fact it went to court suggests they refused to pay any previous fine and they hoped the case would be thrown out. A common tactic which confirms they don't see themselves as in the wrong.

America wants to deter what it calls "barbarric crimes" by carrying out the most barbarric acts on prisoners. The death penalty is wrong and given innocent people have been identified on death row, it's statistically likely an innocent person has been murdered by the state previously.
