My apologies as I had to step out to attend another meeting. I remember a cycling campaigner called Mike Curtis who died on Merrion Square 30 years ago. It was one of the reasons that the Dublin Cycling Campaign was founded. I knew Harry Boland and his family; Harry died in Stillorgan last year. I met the colleagues of Neeraj Jain last week and his family. Both his and the Boland family and their communities were completely devastated. Ms Williams is correct to highlight this issue. As the Chairman has said, our cycling population has a modal split by about 3% nationally, but it is accounting for three times that figure in the number of road deaths.
