Cllr says road is unsafe because people break the law and won't obey the speed limit as the lower speed limit has made the road more dangerous. So he wants it reviewed. The road isn't dangerous, the speed limit isn't, its the law breakers that are. He should want speed cameras.

An Irish delegation cannot possibly attend the white house for St Patricks day when faced with this behaviour and so much more. Undermining and attacking our neighbours is wrong on so many levels.

Re people still on X -- I'm surprised by some people, less so by others. But why is anybody with any self respect still active on a platform which had a feature which could generate images undressing people without their permission and -- at best -- as a side effect, generate child abuse image?

Everyone should apparently play a part, but the mayor only focuses on cyclists, e scooter riders and pedestrians. Totally ignoring motorists who are the biggest killers.

He apologised but yet gave a story to try justify why he was speeding, unless there's a very serious immediate medical emergency there is no excuse. He should be stripped of his justice committee position straight away. RTE news : FF TD detected at 190km/h convicted of dangerous driving

Many streets in the Netherlands once looked like those in the UK today. What matters is what happened next. Hoogeveen shows this clearly: a car-dominated main road in 2019, upgraded by 2024 with cycle tracks. Dutch roads are continuously improved to make cycling safer & neighbourhoods more pleasant

Ring your TDs and leave a message asking them to leave X. The script is simple: You are a constituent, by posting on X your representative is supporting a company which deliberately set out to promote image based abuse, and this is unacceptable. (You can also mention Musk's support of Dublin riots.)

My word. The Taoiseach, in China, says "platforms can be misused and abused or they can be used for positive reasons as well..." and says that should be considered carefully "before jumping to conclusions" on whether it's appropriate for the Government to be on X.
