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.

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

Protests? Listening to unqualified sham lawyers? Signing petitions? I dont think so - the corrupt governance of this country is steered by the most devious of them all - bad bertie and he only listens to bad bad bush. ... read full story / add a comment
