Since the Irish Road Safety Authority (not on here but we can email ) has a budget for awareness & education it would be brilliant to see it being spent on this & similar posters of yours! Just about to order some for a pop-up event our volunteer group is planning. @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social

Any idea what the current fine for return is? After the new reg is implemented should they be returned at all unless the owner can show they have access to private land to use them on?

Thanks @emcreative.ie for reposting, It's well worth a listen and I might not have come across it otherwise. Yes, re the Science, I wonder would the Professor fancy a Career Break year as a Government Advisor, the OPW or various ministries could do with her expertise!

Includes the Americas but not sure how far into the Pacific. Think the International Date Line wriggles around a bit to avoid land masses.

That would have meant acknowledging a Green initiative but now that it is so popular hopefully any row back would cause uproar. Roll out to continue to 2026 so hopefully some new services on the way for areas not benefiting yet Expansion of #WinterReady budget to grit Local Link roads needed too

That's poor on such a busy street. We have a bus stop on a narrow pavement outside a shop. It serves both the half hourly S2 town service and several Local Link services .. There is no space for a conventional shelter but I wondered if the shop would accept a decent awning even if not a bench.
