One of Cork’s favourite cycling events is back for #BikeWeek! Join @rep_of_bike for a fun afternoon of cycling, everyone’s welcome, and it’s perfect for families. 🪩

To be fair I would argue to be lit up like a xmas tree at night as you won’t be seen otherwise, but during the day high-viz for pedestrians & cyclists is pointless. They get hit by cars not because they can't be seen but because of how streets are designed and how drivers behave

Reopening the #westernrailcorridor will be a significant, straight forward & hugely positive step in addressing the #infrastructure deficit of the region #sligo #mayo #galway @NWAssembly @WesternDevCo @Irelandwest @atusligo_ie @uniofgalway

Ireland’s share of pedestrian fatalities is nearly double the European average, making Ireland among the continent’s worst for pedestrian safety...Yet the 30km/h debate still revolves around how motorists will cope 🙄 @PatKennyNT @mcculld

Remember - the wildfires, the droughts, floods, heatwaves happening across the world are within "safe" climate change (1.2°C warming). We are on course to double that.
No time to waste. #ActOnClimate

It’s that time again! 💡 Join us this Monday 20 Oct, 16:45 by the Michael Collins Statue as we hand out free bike lights around Cork.
A bright, social evening to make our streets safer. We’ve got the lights, all we need is your energy! 💪

The murder of Charlie Kirk is part of a disturbing rise in political violence that threatens to hollow out our public life.
A free society relies on the premise that people can speak out without fear or humiliation.
No more political violence.

Movement of #freight is several times more carbon efficient on #rail than road. This one train from Ballina to Waterford saved ~5000kg of #carbon versus #roadhaulage #westernrailcorridor #modalshift @PortofWaterford @EPAIreland @DeptCEE @EamonRyan @IDAIRELAND @Entirl @IrishRail

You don't stop cycling when you get old.
You get old when you stop cycling.
Don't blame #ageing for not being able to ride anymore. Blame your political leaders for not creating the safe conditions that allow you to.

Sligo’s (pop 20,000) first daily rail arrival is not until 10:16 AM. More early morning arrivals is a MUST to enable #commuting for #college #students #healthcare #tourism #employment #leisure @SligosBuzzin @SligoPPN @sligohub1 @SligoChamber @glasshousesligo @atusligo_ie

Due to robust passenger growth (to ~750,000 in ‘24) Irish Rail now plan to augment the service to a train every 2 hours between the cities #galway #limerick #westernrailcorridor #Clare @BetterEnnis @LimerickCycling @CycleGort @ClareCoCo @ClareTourism @visit_galway @Limerick_now

#NationalSiblingsDay Let's celebrate the Ogg family! Few can match the sheer size of Nanny Ogg's brood, with 15 children. Imagine those family gatherings!
From Jason to Shawn, and everyone in between, the Ogg #siblings showcase that family comes in all shapes and sizes. While some might find managing such a large family chaotic, Nanny Ogg handles it with her characteristic wit, wisdom and perhaps a drop or two of scumble! 🍎
"Blood is thicker than water, but family is more than blood. Family is those you love, those who love you, those who drive you crazy, and those who keep you sane - sometimes all at the same time." — Witches Abroad, Terry Pratchett

The investigation of systematic, financial wrongdoing by Le Pen and her party
was launched by the EU anti-fraud office 11 years ago. The French judicial system is independent. The evidence of her guilt presented at her trial in November was substantial.
Marine Le Pen will not be allowed to stand in France's next Presidential election after being banned from politics for five years in a ruling condemned by Italy's Deputy PM as a "declaration of war by Brussels". dailysceptic.org/2025/03/31/…
