<<First Name>>, we are all shocked and deeply saddened in Dublin Cycling Campaign at the untimely death of our friend and long-time volunteer Paddy Cahill.

Paddy Cahill

Paddy was a talented film-maker and he created many beautiful films for us.

We extend our sympathies to his wife Jonia and his family and many friends – and especially his brother, and our close colleague, Conor.

We will be posting some reflections on Paddy’s huge contribution to cycling advocacy on our website over the coming week or so, but in the meantime we recommend you readd this article on the RTÉ website on Paddy's contributions to the culture of the city and beyond and this one about his final journey to Glasnevin.

Rest in peace Paddy.

How can cycling enable mobility and independence?

Dublin City Council non-statutory public consultation on extending 30 km/h speed limits

Dublin City has opened a non-statutory public consultation on its latest proposals for 30 km/h speed limits. They are asking people to give their views before 23rd April.

Please click on the link above and support the default 30 km/h in Dublin City. And ask your family and friends to click on the link and give their support. We need every voice we can get to support this very positive proposal to make our city a safer and more pleasant place to live, work and play. When you have given your views get in touch with your local Councillors and tell them that you want 30 km/h in your area. You can find their email addresses on the website: https://www.whoismytd.com/

30 km/h speed limits on Strand Road, Sandymount
People living or cycling in Sandymount will be aware that work on the proposed cycle route on Strand Road has been postponed. When the postponement was announced, a 30 km/h speed limit was introduced for safety reasons, as some of the roundabouts had been removed in preparation for the trial. We want the 30 km/h limit maintained to improve safety for people cycling and for the huge increase in people walking in the area over the past year. You can help by contacting the City Council on strandcycletrial@dublincity.ie to urge the retention of the 30 km/h limit.

Here is what Love 30 is saying in its submission
