The importance of visibility on our roads cannot be understated, particularly for vulnerable road users including pedestrians, cyclists, e-scooter drivers and motorcyclists.

Car culture is king in Ireland. My own brother has written off multiple cars in his lifetime, somehow managing to avoid harming anyone, but it’s just par for the course down home.
Another example of the extraordinary example of the generosity of spirit shown by Irish courts to motorists who commit homicide

Ireland continues rolling backwards thanks to FFFG. The mind just boggles. Boggles. Emigration will only continue to rise.
Four months after it was promised, we finally have the government's transport investment plan between now and 2030. It's bad. Roads are in, public transport is out. A lot of public transport projects being put on the long-finger to make funding available for new roads.

This is disgraceful. The trains are already overcrowded with a whole load of housing being built on the basis of the rail upgrade. At this stage it is a health and safety issue at the stations and on the trains with the existing volumes of passengers.
DART+ South West is shelved until 2030. It has full planning approval since 2024, no judicial reviews and is ready to go but construction won't start until after 2030. A lot of housing around Adamstown and Clonburris built in anticipation of this upgrade.

As always, the West will dismantle itself for Israel's genocide. Now the UK is openly replacing impartial judges days before important Palestine cases wrap up, without any explanation or clarification. Any pretense of fairness in the legal system is gone.

I've been thinking about how Britain's legacy in Ireland is a civic tradition of state cruelty and Jim O'Callaghan is that tradition writ large. #speirgorm
Justice and Migration Minister Jim O'Callaghan said he's committed to ensuring Ireland is 'not viewed more favourably than the UK by those seeking to claim asylum'.
His statement comes following proposed reforms to the UK's asylum practices

Fair play to those marching for climate action around Dublin today. Neither Transport for Ireland nor Dublin Bus seem to be acknowledging it’s happening, based on zero comms around changes to public transport temporarily impacted by it 🤷♀️

It’s one of Dublin’s top most infuriating qualities. Avoidable, preventable. But instead it’s left to make public roads and footpaths hostile to everyone, at best. Cue the headlines or businesses and homes with flood damage tomorrow and “unprecedented” getting thrown around.
This morning’s walk. Before the rains. Or after *some* rains but before the big Orange 21-hour rain/weather warning that starts in a few hours anyway. Dublin has a massive drainage problem doesn’t it? Water pooling everywhere.
