Road Safety: Statements (17 Apr 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Something that has struck me in this debate so far is the emphasis on drivers only. Automobile traffic is the only thing that has been mentioned. Members have not spoken of the fact that many of the people who have died on our roads are either pedestrians or cyclists, nor has our definition of what we understand road safety to be been broadened to include all people.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Local Link Transport Services: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I acknowledge the huge positivity that has been in the room this morning. There are, of course, teething issues and there are places we want to improve.

We...

Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (11 Nov 2021)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: On the point made by Deputy Ellis about the mandatory wearing of helmets, it has been demonstrated in other jurisdictions - Australia is a case in point - that when we make the wearing of helmets mandatory, particularly with cycling, the participation rate drops. Dublinbikes is a great example of a micromobility solutions and much of that comprises incidental use. We really want people to...
