Listening to the Irish presidential debate on Radio 1 between Catherine Connolly and Heather Humphreys, HH denies there is a smear campaign and then goes on the attack to smear CC :(

The response from the Minister's representative at yesterday's meeting in Leinster House was shocking.

It's very clear that this government is not taking road safety seriously and people will die as a result.

www.fm104.ie/news/fm104-n...

Jason Cullen from the Dublin Commuter Coalition said a response from a staff member from the Junior Transport Minister, Sean Canney's office, during that presentation, was alarming.

"The clear indication that we got from the Minister's staff member there, was that it would be at least 18 months before we see any form of instruction to local county councils.

'When I pointed out to him that within that time 20 to 30 cyclists will probably have been killed on our roads due to the current trends that we're seeing, the response from him was that it is 'regrettable' that that will happen.

"It really took my breath away."

The best time to build Dublin's MetroLink was 20 years ago. The second best time to build it is now.

Please please don't listen to the extreme case scenarios like €23bn for the cost of MetroLink shared by naysayers and professional contrarians.

Perhaps you should look to your own statements as being an exemplar!

Excellent points here- “It is not inevitable that so many people will be killed or maimed for life. It is a political choice.”
