Thanks to all who have helped so much with this campaign!  Heartening that the City Council and Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government got together and extended the Cycling Officer's contract for six months.  We really hope that this gives time to find permanent funding for the Officer's salary, given the extraordinarily high ratio of benefit to cost that the promotion of cycling achieves.  Though it's the principle of having the Officer job in place, as set out by the National Cycle Policy Framework, we have to say that the current Officer, Dr. Ciaran Fallon, has been a really effective and capable voice for cycling in Dublin for the last 3 years, and we do hope he'll see fit to continue in the job!

Yes, it looks like our cycling video succeeded in staying inside the top 10 in the Volunteer Only Organisation category. Thank you very much for your part in helping us get this far, it's great to know there's this much support.

The official shortlist is announced this Wednesday. Then it's up to the Better Together judging panel to weigh up the merits of each of the 10 entries in this category as well as the other 2 categories for each of the 3 prizes. So, fingers crossed they think our video best conveys that we're better together when we want to improve Dublin city for everyone who would like to cycle :-)

A somewhat garbled story quoting Campaign sources appeared in the Metro Herald.

We do hope enforcement improves around all traffic regulations soon, both cyclists and motorists.

The Dublin Cycling Campaign is a voluntary group that lobbies local government to get improved cycle facilities, better cyclist safety and more recognition for cyclists in any infrastruct

Thanks to Tom Newton of Transport Users for coming to last night's meeting and sharing his thinking on public transport in Dublin.

The new Grand Canal cycle way has traffic signals specifically for cyclists. Fair play to the Council for innovating here.

Luas have surveyed cyclist to find out their needs- Fair play to them!

The Dublin Cycling Campaign is delighted to announce that it has been awarded a grant for a Grundtvig Learning Partnership under the EU Lifelong Learning Programme.
