My questions are on cycling so they are mainly for Mr. Ryan. The first issue I want to raise is the accessibility of public open spaces and recreational spaces. Chairman, with respect, I almost laughed out loud when he referenced private leisure parks considering the Land Development Agency has been designed to sell public land to private developers.
On cycling, if we design roads with young people in mind then all of us will reap rewards and be able to commute in the city. I live in Inchicore and I cycle to Leinster House most days. Does Mr. Ryan think that we are doing enough at a national level to promote cycling as a mode of transport?
