A spokesperson for the Council has confirmed to us that regulation number 920/2005 only covers regulations adopted by co-decision.

We the undersigned note call on the Department of Arts, Sport and Tourism and the Department of Transport to invest in facilities to encourage the pursuit of cycling in Ireland. It is now 20 years since Stephen Roche won the Tour de France and in that time car dependency has been encouraged at the expense of cycling. More teenagers drive to school than cycle. To encourage cycling in Ireland, we call for more cycle lanes, cycle tracks to encourage cycling at all ages and a national velodrome with a cycling academy to find a new generation of world class cyclists in Ireland. We need your support! read full story / add a comment |
