Dessie Ellis (Dublin North West, Sinn Fein)

The promotion of road safety is very important. It was felt that we had made significant progress on road safety for cyclists and that we could invest the money used for advertising more wisely in projects. The recent statistics indicate a significant improvement in lives saved in recent years. We would like to see an expansion of bicycle lanes to the main cities across the country and not just in Dublin. Other cities are being neglected in comparison with the capital city.
