Comment & Analysis: Sadly, I have to start this article by saying, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this article says 'don't be visible'. Lights are a legal requirement, and it'd be a good start if the Gardai enforced them, and people walking should take steps to be visible on unlit roads. I get it, nobody likes it when people are walking on unlit roads in the dark without lights and wearing dark clothing, and it's annoying when some cyclists think they are ninjas.

A legal block on Irish Rail and Northern Ireland Railways signing a contract for new Dublin-Belfast trains has been lifted by the Commercial Court, a division of the High Court. The block was put in place through a legal application by Spanish train manufacturer CAF, which lost out in the bidding process for the new trains to Swiss manufacturer Stadler. …

The Government is delaying shovel-ready public transport projects such as Dart+ South West and Luas Finglas in order "to free up funding for more roads", the Green Party's transport spokesperson, Cllr Feljin Jose, has claimed. He said that this is a "disaster" that large new areas of housing in Dublin -- including a development of nearly 900 homes approved in Adamstown today and the major housing project at Poolbeg -- were being left without the promised transport links, forcing more people into cars on the capital's congested roads.

Comment & Analysis: "For goodness sake, just leave Skerries ALONE" and "Leave Skerries alone" are common themes from some in the comments section of Facebook posts about the Skerries Active Travel Plan, which this website covered two weeks ago. But in a growing town, what does that really mean? I think it's worth exploring the question, given that it's a common enough feeling expressed when changes are planned in towns and cities around the country (and around the world).

Under pressure from rural TDs supporting it, the Government is shifting its transport spending priorities from sustainable transport to road building -- the funding ratio between public transport and roads is set to change from 2:1 to close to 1:1. Between 2026 and 2030, public transport is expected to get €10.1 billion, while roads is to get €9.7 billion, while active travel and greenways are expected to get €1.8 billion.

A conservative approach by the Department of Transport to ordering replacement Dart train carriages will lead to increased reliability issues on the Dublin rail network, likely cost the State more when the trains are ordered, and will delay the expansion of other train services, it has been claimed. Earlier this year, the Department of Transport claimed the delay in ordering the trains -- replacements for the existing 41-year-old Dart carriages, which are suffering daily breakdowns and affecting local and intercity services -- was due to a review of the National Development Plan.
