Allowing bicycles off peak is useful to allow people move bicycles and bring bicycles to without impacting on passenger carrying capacity.
* = Peak time bicycles on board suburban trains doesn't work unless you're somewhere like Copenhagen with a crazy amount of active capacity vs demand.
Some have used US rail services with large amounts of bicycle spaces as an example we could follow in Ireland -- but this is an example of how it's not scalable.*
As in the Netherlands, secure bicycle parking at stations is a solution. It's cheaper, but still costs €100s millions.
It occurs to me that one of the best policy courses open to the EU is simply avoiding being caught up in a war. Everyone else seems to be mad into that and - aside from all the slaughter and misery and that woke stuff - it's so economically destructive that skipping it is a competitive advantage
The €800 contribution for an airlift home from Dubai etc... does that apply to everyone over there including taxpayers on holidays or short work visits, or just Irish immigrants living there?
The default local road rural limit planned by the last Govt and brought in by this at least decreased most of the smallest of roads.
For tampering with bicycles, no it's not, but once you tamper and use it on the road above the legal limit for pedal assisted bicycles, you're effectively using an illegal moped which should be (but cannot be) taxed, insured, you need moped licence, helmet etc and you can be done for all of that.
For the car speed limits, they are supposed to match the limit in every road. There was some reporting that Irish councils had failed to meet an EU target of providing mapped speed limits for the system. Some but not all systems also read the signs to account for road works etc...
In fairness, car speed limits are here too but the EU was lobbied that they must be easily overridden.
bad ideas have a tough time dying in Ireland
It would explain the White House going to war montage video -- that's straight out of how sci-fi told us AI would communicate.
Tick, tock... "On January 27, 2026, the Doomsday Clock was set at 85 seconds to midnight, the closest the Clock has ever been to midnight in its history."
You might have missed it as its annual change was announced the day before the Iran War started.
No-one actually expects gas prices to rapidly return to normal.
humanity is just people forgetting everything they ever learned.

...might be to admit that electric motorcycles are sometimes marketed as e-bikes too at least to some degree and the bicycle industry didn't trademark the term.
This is a world-wide issue, at least in English speaking countries.
I think the bicycle industry and campaigning community should abandon the term. But the problem is agreeing on a replacement. The obvious one, e-bicycle, apparently way too long.
Regardless of the solution, a starting point...
Does anybody know what footpath works in Bagenalstown this is about? I thought it might be the Bagenalstown Public Realm Project, but that seems to be finished?
"The dumb, politically correct wars of the past were the opposite of what we're doing here. They had vague objectives with restrictive, minimalist rules of engagement. No more." — Hegseth yesterday.
Screen shot of text from the end of an email that reads: If you want, I can also write a much sharper version (still legally safe but far more cutting) that will really land with him and his solicitors.
Pro tip: if you're going to send someone a nonsense letter that you hope uses enough serious sounding "legal" language to be taken seriously, you should probably make sure you delete the bit at the end where ChatGPT offers to write a different version lol
Now, in fairness, for a good chunk of the country, "the West" means anything west of the Shannon.
...and if we still were not waiting to get our roof fixed... which is what one of the loans is for, but the weather last year didn't want to play ball... a bit hard to put panels down first...
Anybody with access to the money and not ordering solar panels and batteries right now is crazy... I would be doing it if I could afford to talk out another loan right now...
This is cruel... I'm guessing this is explained by the large-scale change of bus numbers, and may only be temporary, but for the two of these to be departing from UCD is cruel for anybody with dyslexia, etc...
The combination of AI with no quality control over data entry and an airforce so famous this 85 years for a “Shoot first, what’s a question?” targeting policy that it was a Simpsons gag 30 years ago strikes me as something so self-evidently a disaster waiting to happen I’m amazed it took this long.

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."

A photo of the moon in the sky reflecting off a large river with the grasses river bank lit by street lights. The moon is shown to be less clear and a blue hue, when to the eye (or at least my eye) it is yellow, larger and clearer. The camera also picks up the grass bank brighter than it is
It's a bit cold out, but nice.
