Is this the same Ireland where a TD couldn't get into Dublin to propose a congestion-mitigation policy to the Dáil Éireann because he was stuck in a traffic jam for THREE AND A HALF HOURS? But, yeah, go ahead, discourage bicycling with punitive laws. What could go wrong?
That's hilarious (in a coping with the horribleness way).
I'll find a citation for it because I'll keep it for future transit discussions.
Edit: Found them: it just happened this week.

They probably need to expand that tram system in Dublin. it was great for those few routes from what i remember , maybe frequency could have been improved a bit. It'd seem like a no-brainer to add another 2 or 3 lines. I visited about 15 years ago so hopefully it has improved, but sounds like maybe not.
I dunno how Dublin compares to , say, Manchester, but the Manc system has grown a lot in the last few decades and makes the town centre so much nicer and easier to get around, by all other modes too especially walking.
I'm sure with all those corporate HQs that Dublin should be a lot richer than Manchester . . . oh hang on, those corpos pay fuckall taxes don't they.
