Brew’n@Frewyn is to open on Convent Lane by mid-September, bringing covered outdoor seating, coffee, pastries & sandwiches to the pedestrianised street. Together with Phoenix Bistro, it’s creating a lively, continental-style street scene.@dunlaoghaireb_a@dunlaoghairecra
Great to see these sort of improvements happening around the country. In Dun Laoghaire ongoing #DLRCentral works mean many parents & kids are facing into a degree of chaos as they return to school, but reminding ourselves it should be a very different picture within a few months

With limited traffic zones, 30km/h limits & car-free quays, Paris cut congestion & pollution while keeping access for those who need it. Dublin, Europe’s 3rd most congested city, could learn a lot.

Calling on all local authorities to reduce speed limits in urban areas to 30 kph. This will save lives and serious injuries, and make cycling a safer option for many people.

Great to see new pedestrian ramp in Shrewsbury Lawn, Cabinteely to improve safety for all, especially pedestrians using the lane between Kilbogget Park and N11.
Helsinki isn't all of Finland, that's important to start with, but so far in the Republic of Ireland there have been 94 road deaths this year.
How do we get to zero?
- Lower speed limits (30 km/h)
- Better pedestrian and cycle ways
- Better public transport
Demand better.
