Mr. Pierpaolo Cazzola: I am a fan of e-bikes. My wife would not be cycling if it were not for e-bikes. We enjoy bike rides thanks to e-bikes and I am very happy about that. They can bring people closer to the concept of non-motorised transport, especially those who would not otherwise choose such a mode of transport. As such, they are an important development that can really help to...

Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Public Bike Schemes (2 Apr 2019)

Shane Ross: I have no doubt that the Deputy welcomes the fact we have public bike schemes in most of our major cities, including Galway.

Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Nov 2021)

Brian Leddin: ...in danger of overhyping both the benefits and the dangers of e-scooters. No doubt e-scooters will be useful for some people, especially people who do not enjoy secure cycle parking, but we need to avoid what I might call techno-utopianism, but also techno-fatalism. I do not personally think that e-scooters will be a game changer for our villages, towns and cities. They will be of some...

Darren O'Rourke: This is wide-ranging legislation. The transport committee undertook pre-legislative scrutiny over the past few months. Many aspects of the Bill seek to make our roads safer from variable speed limits to regulating e-scooters to giving gardaí more powers to check for uninsured vehicles on our roads. Sinn Féin welcomes these provisions. We support making our roads safer and trying...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (4 Oct 2018)

Mr. Graham Doyle: I ask the Deputy to let me finish the sentence. I was speaking about improvements in terms of infrastructure. I probably should not have used the term "improvements". We have seen significant increases in the numbers. The Senator asked about incentives for electric bicycles. The bike to work scheme allows an individual €1,000 of tax relief and my understanding...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Park-and-Ride Facilities (3 Mar 2022)

They must obtain two visas when they...
