Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It is a very important issue because we are seeing more and more people cycling, including more younger people and more people cycling to work. Schemes such as the bike to work scheme have worked very well. There are also bikes people can rent across this city and in other places. It is a good way of getting around, it is environmentally friendly and it is good for one's health, both physically and mentally. We are investing a great deal in cycling infrastructure but I will ask the Minister for Transport to specifically respond on the issue around safety and road repair.
