Cycle Protest

Last October we held Ireland’s largest ever cycle protest when almost 1,000 cyclists took to the streets to demand proper funding for cycling. We’re taking to the streets again on Wednesday 22nd February, gathering from 12.45pm outside the office of the Minister for Transport, Shane Ross in Leeson Lane and cycling to the Dáil at 1.00pm. We’re calling on the Minister to:

  • allocate at least 10% of the Transport Budget to cycling
  • implement the National Cycle Policy Framework in full
  • take action to reduce transport emissions so that Ireland fulfils its obligations under the Paris Agreement
