Ms Louise Williams:

That is just one aspect of it.

On parking and how we divide the public space in the city, we need to talk about the storage of private cars and how that takes up a huge amount of the public space on the roads. That means that there is less space for people who want to cycle. It also means that we are facing challenges in a general context. One sees that parking is happening left, right, and centre in lanes that are supposed to be allocated for people who cycle, which means that we have to veer out into the path of buses, other cars, and drivers. Impunity is a massive issue. We have talked about 98% of drivers who were speeding in 30 km/h areas and about impunity on the roads. The enforcement has to happen, not just so that more people can cycle, but so that more people do not lose their lives. That is what we have come here to talk about. That is not a minor issue, it is a major one.

It is something that I BIKE Dublin has done a huge amount of work to address and to highlight. We need to support more of this and need An Garda Síochána to take it much more seriously.
