I have a question on a less serious issue. Yesterday, I met a group of senior citizens and I promised them I would ask the Commissioner and her team about cyclists and public safety. I refer to people who jump red lights and cycle on footpaths. Many disabled people and senior citizens contact me regularly about the problem. Has there been a change in attitude by the Garda about implementing the law when it comes to cyclists who break the law by cycling on footpaths, crashing through red lights thus intimidating a lot of visually impaired people, blind people and senior citizens?
