Noel Dempsey (Meath West, Fianna Fail)

Deputy Broughan mentioned that he was involved in introducing the first cycling lane while he was a member of Dublin City Council. I was on my bike at the time because I launched the initiative on the quays.

We have a considerable opportunity to change our habits. If people felt that cycling had become safer, many, including Senators, Deputies and Ministers, would travel by bicycle.
