I really don't understand this obsession with immigration. Seriously, among a nation with one of the world's biggest diasporas. I think it is just racism, pure and simple.

Right-wing march in East Wall/ North Strand this evening. Thankfully much, much smaller than previous ones, despite the ironic ‘we are the 90%’ placards. Nearly as many guards as ‘protestors’.

@IrishCycle This being a 'trial', surely the thing to do it is to, well, trial it. Then if the biblical apocalypse the 'real world residents' associations' say they fear so much looks like it is coming to pass, then the huge mistake we have made will quickly become apparent, will it not?

@dublincycling So many many schemes have gone south due to local politicians pouring buckets of cold political water on them under the guise of 'concern' for 'the way it was handled' and the old 'it wasn't very well thought out' canard - They are driving (literally) the city back to the '70s

When you live on a rat run, like I do and you have to walk young kids to school down a street that has no footpaths anymore because they are used for parking, you quickly lose sympathy for 'through traffic'.

@mistereatgalway Massive investment in public transport and in walking and cycling is the only way. My experience of your beautiful city is that it is totally hostile to anybody who is not driving a car. Cars simply beget more cars and create ever more traffic.

@Statisco_uk @HannahEDaly She’s correct. Dairy and beef farming are a heavily subsidised ‘business’, one which pollutes, contributes to ecological degradation and sells its products at a price it couldn’t if it weren’t subsidised. It isn’t a public service.
