"ETSC regrets that Ireland has stepped back from a clear national default. International experience shows why a default works." A reminder that 85 of our urban areas are clearly defined & default could be implemented immediately in those cities and towns. etsc.eu/irelands-urb...

Leaked internal documents from Germany’s Defense Ministry reveal that Berlin coordinated its testimony with Israel ahead of its April 2024 appearance before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) where Nicaragua accused Germany of complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza through arms exports.

What's going on in Ballinrobe? 👀

Leg it down or pedal it down and throw Catherine a vote...10minutes left!

🇮🇪 Presidential Election Day 1918 was the first time Irish women were permitted to vote, & even then only ~women over 30 who owned property~ Is é do vóta do ghuth 🗳️ #Aras25 #SpeirGorm

Delighted to be able to Vote 1 for Catherine Connolly today. She's a woman of dignity, integrity and warmth. She is the best of us. Bean uasal, iontach agus ionraic. #CatherineforPresident

Ag súil go @catherinegalway.bsky.social a fheiceáil amárach ag an ócáid clainne seo. Looking forward to cycling with Catherine Connolly tomorrow. She's always supported us & the Cycle Bus crew - so delighted to get out to show our support for her tomorrow.

“The energy was absolutely insane!” says Dom Whiting — the DJ on a bike — as he returns to Dublin this Saturday Dom Whiting, who attracts large crowds of people cycling, scooting and more along with him as he DJs on a tricycle, is returning to Dublin this Saturday, September 27th. Whiting said in…

Motherfucking wind farms…

In a meeting today, Sidsel Birk Hjuler pointed out a facet of motonormativity that even I had failed to see: why do we talk about people using people-sized vehicles as MICROmobility? How did people driving around with 4 empty seats get normalized as "mobility"?

@neasa.bsky.social chairperson of @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social said: “Our restructuring represents a fresh chapter in our journey to make cycling accessible and safe for everyone in Ireland.”

Why has this not been done? There is no mention of any accounting for this at all. Are Galway County Council trying to pull a stroke? The public and planners deserve better and more complete information than what has been presented here.

#Galway Ring Road: I’ve now read through the updated Traffic Modelling Report submitted by @GalwayCoCo to ABP. And I’m more convinced than ever that this project cannot be justified in its current form.🧵

We love to see this. Fairplay to #StNicolas'Church in #Galway, promoting active travel amongst their visitors & congregation. Great to see @galwaycitycouncil.bsky.social supporting them.

Jane Humphries, Chief Superintendent of the Garda Roads Policing unit, said SUVs are more dangerous because of “simple physics”. Great to see this messaging from @garda.ie. Why has there been no awareness campaign on SUVs from the #RSA?? @thejournal.ie www.thejournal.ie/suvs-road-sa...

📣Event Alert📣 The High Court is due to rule on the Strand Road Cycle Route case on Friday 11th April. Whatever the result we want to see the route progress without delay. Join us at 6pm on the 11th at Grand Canal Square for a cycle along the route to demand safe cycling infrastructure.

On the bus to Limerick for @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social national meeting. Cranberries blasting on the radio - here's to a great weekend with a colleagues & speakers contributors from all over the country.🚲

Delighted to have been in Galway this morning for the launch of the 1st of 4 e-mobility hubs with our ROBUST project funded by @seai-ie.bsky.social @galwaycitycouncil.bsky.social Thank you to Minister Canney, Amaya Vega & Orla Flynn for launching this first hub More info: www.tcd.ie/news_events/...

Feicim nár ghlac @cnagaeilge.bsky.social leis an rún fáil réidh leis an gcuntas Twitter. Tuigim, ach an bhfuil sé indéanta 'mirroring' a dhéanamh anseo? Jab iontach á dhéanamh ag @maitiuocoimin.bsky.social ag tuairisciú ó AFCnaG sa dhá áit - bhfuil sé sin á dhéanamh de láimh, nó le aip éigin?

Unpopular opinion (among some urbanists): The author is right. High-speed, battery-powered bikes are a menace in bike lanes. They're dangerous for those biking slower, and they deter some people from biking at all. Who wants to ride with their 5-year old while someone zooms by at 28 mph?

Get your ideas into @alancurran.bsky.social Small changes can make a big difference to accessibility to safe routes for people walking, wheeling & cycling.

Iontach an tuairisc dearfach seo a fheiceáil ó muintir An Spidéal faoi na luas teorainn nua. Great to see teenagers understanding the positive impact the new speed limits will have on their rural village. Broadly positive response from An Spidéal 👏 www.rte.ie/news/2025/02...

Friends who are NUI graduates, please run- not walk- to the post box with your votes for Alice Mary Higgins No. 1. I have a bad feeling about the energy levels amongst the non-headbanger, non godbothering voter base. Please do make sure one of the best Senators can continue to make things better.

Great article from @gerherbert.bsky.social "The cars that promised us freedom have left us stuck in traffic, inhaling fumes and created soulless city centres with streets designed purely to serve vehicles.... The choice is clear, and the time to act is now." www.independent.ie/opinion/comm...

"The evidence is undeniable. Slower speeds save lives. Better cycling infrastructure saves lives. Fewer cars in city centres saves lives. A 30kmh speed limit isn't some Orwellian plot to ruin your life, it's an attempt to salvage a bit of sanity" Brilliant article, @gerherbert.bsky.social

If we are going to fix Galway's traffic & housing crisis, we need a sustainable approach with public transport & active travel at its core. Building a massive road to make it easier for more cars to pour into Galway city, won't work. www.thejournal.ie/readme/galwa...
