What a curious delivery! Had a bunch of us laughing at the efficiency!

It would seem he used Judicial Notice erroneously? His experience of a supposed homogeneous group of cyclists cannot be applied to the acts of the party in this case?
January 14, 2026 at 9:08 AM
Would the judge lump all motor car drivers’ behaviour together as one homogeneous cohort - representing only a biased & derogatory view of their competence?

Only evidence of the affected parties should be used!?!

“Tarred with the same brush”?

A load of tosh from an organisation with a very low and descending reputation with anyone who knows even the least bit of road safety knowledge

They’ve wasted and continue to waste effort on hi viz when a focus on the #fatal5 would save lives

The ineptitude is cause for concern

A focus on the wrong thing

If only @garda.ie would do enforcement

Not much evidence of the 30mins/duty

But plenty of evidence that DMR don’t investigate Traffic Watch reports and actively & aggressively put in barriers to anyone who reports crime
November 29, 2025 at 9:18 AM
As a driver you are one of the most dangerous road users and it is important to be aware of the responsibility you have for the safety of all road users including the most vulnerable - pedestrians. Take this responsibility seriously and drive safely at all times. @garda.ie
November 28, 2025 at 1:25 PM
Vulnerable road users are not difficult to see if you’re a competent driver - driving to the conditions and when driving to test standard

Is it that focusing on supposed ‘visibility challenges’ is focusing on the wrong challenge?
November 28, 2025 at 1:18 PM
I can’t say a change in logo on social media has resulted in me observing more roads policing by @garda.ie or an improvement in road safety

Not convinced the 30mins/duty is still being done despite Commissioner’s insistence

@garda.ie in DMR don’t investigate Traffic Watch reports

Some going to extreme lengths to avoid making our roads safer…
November 28, 2025 at 12:44 PM
It’s almost the last Friday of November

It can mean only one thing!!

The streets of #Dublin will come to life with great music, excellent craic and bikes brightly lit

#IBIKEBop by @ibike.ie starts on

If you’re only visiting grab a bike share!

Best wishes to the young man for a speedy recovery.

@garda.ie appealing for dashcam footage again. With such frequent requests you’d think they’d be better at using it…

Members in DMR struggle.
November 17, 2025 at 4:56 AM
Another collision. Best wishes to the man for a speedy recovery

Yet another appeal for journey cam footage

Still no response from @garda.ie on the policy on journey cam footage widely deployed by members in DMR

Also, when will they stop with ‘…involved a cyclist and a car’ & do ‘…and a driver’?
November 15, 2025 at 3:49 PM
A bad day on our roads.

Best wishes to the young man.

Yet another appeal for journey cam footage by @garda.ie

I hope the investigating member is more open minded than this one👇
November 3, 2025 at 8:08 PM
🧵@garda.ie Commisioner’s monthly report states his members are still doing the 30min/duty traffic policing. There is little evidence of this or that we’re seeing an impact. Why are we so slow to embrace technology to dramatically improve road safety? We celebrate a solitary camera, while Venice…🧵

🧵Dangerous Overtaking of a Cyclist. Particularly pointless when they turn into a carpark moments after endangering a cyclist🧵
