You think traffic is bad now. You ain’t seen nothing yet…

Excellent piece by Sadhbh o'Neill about the car-centric approach to transport. I have absolutely no doubt that virtually none of our elected reps rely on public transport to go about their daily lives. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

He said "Amen" straight into the drop Lmao Pope Leo threw a rave for an archbishop's 75th birthday this is kind of incredible

"Paul is a fan of the Land Rover Defender" So they decide to park them on a public park for a wedding photo, this is so apt... Probably the most off road these things have been www.echolive.ie/corklives/ar...

What's a "semi-hilly city"? Asking for a friend.

Postbox bollards outside the Post Office. Absolutely delightful. #WorldBollardAssociation 📮

Two more road deaths in urban areas in the last 24 hours. A failure to introduce default 30 km/h speed limits in Built Up Areas reflects poorly on the Irish Government. #VisionZero road deaths? A pipe-dream unless attitudes change. www.rte.ie/news/regiona...

“He said that though the cycle route would increase in terms of distance, much of this would be downhill so it would not be a huge addition to journey time” It’s a very handy cycle lane if it’s downhill in both directions. www.echolive.ie/corknews/ari...

Dublin Zoo has decided to name one of its parrots Troy in honour of Ireland's hat-trick hero in Budapest's Puskás Aréna

Local government in Ireland is so pathetically powerless that plans for a citywide traffic speed reduction by @dublincitycouncil.bsky.social can simply be vetoed by central government. If Paris was as impotent as this, Mayor Anne Hildago couldn’t have achieved anything …

Lower speed limits will help Ireland reduce road deaths. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

The new area by the folly, just off the Marina, is nice.

This reminded me to complete my objection to Pairc Ui Chaoimh's planning application for a car parking area through Marina Park. It can be done via the link below and payment (20) taken too corkcity.submit.com planning.corkcity.ie/AppFileRefDe...

❌ A last beautiful gesture despite the suffering. 🤍 It's over for Remco Evenepoel who's retiring from the #TDF2025. #TDFLive

Here are the plans by @ Páirc Uí Chaoimh for a turning circle and access road in Marina Park off the Monahan Road. planning.corkcity.ie/AppFileRefDe... Submissions by: 30/07/2025 How to make a submission: www.corkcity.ie/en/council-s...

A sight to behold. A low cost pedestrian crossing in Mahon.

The high cost of free parking.

on the last day of the United States, when this country has finally descended into civil war, i will do a thread on how to dress for summer

Additional details on the proposal to use public land (currently part of Marina Park) to host a turning circle for Páirc Uí Chaoimh. (Note there is a fine vehicular entrance, using a newly upgraded road, on the northern side with access to the tunnels and two car parks).

Architectural Conservation Area v Cars

Within one month in office, Lores managed to pedestrianize 300,000 square metres of the city centre, filtered out through traffic, and removed significant amounts of on-street parking, as it was determined 60% of vehicles were circulating in search of a space—a significant contributor to congestion.

Part of this proposed development involves converting a portion of the one of Cork's iconic parks into a turning circle for PuC. Note that there is a fine, new, separate road on the other side that leads all the way into the stadium carpark and tunnels. #Speirgorm

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride. However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Cork: every Saturday. #StopTheGenocide

Kneecap is not the story. Genocide in Gaza is.

The plan meets the guidelines set out in Spain's 2021 Climate Change and Energy Transition Law, which requires each municipality with more than 50,000 inhabitants to establish such a low-emission zone for reasons of addressing air quality, climate change, sustainable mobility, and energy efficiency.

Santiago de Compostela is preparing to implement a low-emissions zone this summer, which will constitute 108 hectares of the historic city centre. Enforced by intelligent bollards and license plate reading cameras, the scheme will limit access to delivery vehicles, residents, and emergency services.

Ireland has opinions

Musk took something with the potential to reach the stars and excite and inspire people and made it crash and burn. But enough about Twitter. His spaceships are crap.

My response to this terrible take by Kathy Sheridan. The main problem with our roads are not cyclists! The Irish Times ought to do better than publishing these opinion pieces.

For noen kan et lite regnbueflagg bety at vi føler oss tryggere. Man ser flagget og tenker; « her kan jeg passe inn» En enkel måte å vite at jeg også blir satt pris på. Veldig fin video Oslo Pride🌈
