I was dressed exactly like this when I was run over in Moycullen in broad daylight.
The factors that most strongly influence cyclist safety are driver speed, enforcement levels, road layout, and safe cycling infrastructure, not what we are wearing. A 🧵
👀 Can you see me now?
The importance of visibility on our roads cannot be understated, particularly for vulnerable road users including pedestrians, cyclists, e-scooter drivers and motorcyclists.

President Michael D. Higgins and Sabina would like to thank all of the many members of the public who have written to them to wish them well as the President tonight completes his term of office. The thoughtfulness of so many people in writing to them is greatly appreciated

Bus Eireann once again leaving passengers stranded!
225 16.20 service from Kent Station no show.
30 mins waiting.
225 pulls up, dumps passengers out and drives off stating he's not boarding passengers
This service @IrishRail @TFIupdates advertise to connect people to Airport.

MacCurtain St is now worse for pedestrians than it was before the public realm works.

Why can’t @corkcitycouncil do more with Washington Street and sort out the cycle lanes and talk with businesses and get them to look after their buildings. We are coming into tourist season and this is their first impression of Cork. 😡@jerrybuttimer @PadraigRice @EoinBearla

Lads this is a joke. Loads have been begging for more greenery in the City and all we get is excuses. Now we know we won’t get the bigger stuff since they can’t just replace trees in tree bases that are already there. Looks to be 3 trees paved over. Pics from @seany__dunne

This is heartbreaking. 💔 André Castro Ladeiro’s mother lay beside her 8-year-old son in the hospital as he passed away, describing it as “the world’s worst nightmare.”
The driver who ran a red light? Jailed for just 3 years with 1 year suspended.

The ‘planned’ car dependent sprawl of Carrigaline continues. McDonald’s in for planning. Aldi fail to deliver any additional spillover benefits. Carrigaline transportation and public realm scheme no where to be seen. Cars, cars, cars….traffic, traffic, traffic.
Huge development of more than 300 new houses planned for Cork's biggest town

54 drivers in 7 days. That’s 7.7/day. Maybe a HGV isn’t the way to go and @GardaTraffic should get on bikes and busses?
Talk about mixed messages
“Driving while distracted is dangerous. If you’re walking or cycling wear hiviz so the driver who isn’t looking still won’t see you”

"Majority of cycle lanes" across Cork starting and ending in shared paths is normalising cycling on footpaths, campaigners say irishcycle.com/2025/01/10/ma…

BREAKING: The @MTA has released a special card that uses wireless RFID technology to avoid congestion pricing tolls.

I think this is great.
Red light cameras will make our streets calmer and safer, and put manners on bad drivers.
It worked in a Dublin trial, it works all over the world, it'll work here.
(I'm speaking to Newtalk's @TheHardShoulder at 4pm about them.)

Next time FFFG councillors describe lower speed limits as 'lunacy' or 'absolute madness' they might reflect on the death toll on our roads in recent days, particularly pedestrian fatalities. Time for leadership from @MichealMartinTD and @SimonHarrisTD westernpeople.ie/news/little…

I’m deeply honoured to have been elected as a TD for Cork South Central.
A huge thank you to the over 5,000 people who went out in the rain on Friday to put a number 1 next to my name. I really appreciate the support.
This is a historic breakthrough for the Social Democrats as it’s the first time we have won a seat in this constituency.
In Cork South Central, we ran a really energetic campaign. We knocked on thousands of doors right across the constituency. I had a fantastic team of volunteers who put their hearts and souls into it.
Our campaign was positive, progressive and solutions-focused – I think that really resonated with people.
I would like to thank everyone I met during the campaign. On the doors, people shared their worries, hardships and concerns. One thing is crystal clear: people want to see real change in relation to housing, healthcare, disability, childcare and climate. I hope this election is the catalyst for that change.
