We are delighted to be attending this fantastic lecture tonight titled “Reframing road safety with Tom Flood”.
Chaired by @jasoncullenfilm from @DublinCommuters Tom gave a wonderful presentation around transferring his very successful media career in Canada to shifting his skills over to advocating for safe secure cycle and independently mobile infrastructure especially for communities and especially our children.
Afterwards a brilliant Q&A was had and Bernard got to ask some questions in relation to disabilities and independent mobility, the answers Tom gave were very much in the vain of someone who champions safe and inclusive independent mobility, more of this we say!!!!

The NTA does not have an €800m hole in their budget
They have a €70m hole which is what the fare hikes are to cover
PSO routes will never be 100% funded by fares; it’s Government funds that are supposed to keep it affordable
Public transport fare hikes necessary to help plug €800m funding gap, says transport body irishtimes.com/transport/202…

Even bigger subsidies being considered for private motorists while they hike the Public Transport costs for those travelling sustainably
It’s unbelievable where Governments priorities are at the moment
Taoiseach Micheál Martin says nothing has been ruled out when it comes to lowering the cost of fuel for motorists.
He says further interventions may be warranted as the price of diesel passes €2 a litre at some filling stations.
However, any additional spending on fuel supports would reduce the money available for next month’s Budget.

It’s easy to write to your TDs and ask them to represent your view. We have a few weeks to the budget.
Assume the ridiculous increase in public transport fares is also cancelled. Do citizens need to host him at a CoNFeReNcE?
This website makes it easy to email TDs & ask them to object
contactyourtd.ie
We have 5 weeks before budget to make our voices heard!

Backbenchers can absolutely push their party colleagues to stop the public transport Fare Hikes
And if the party no longer works for your constituents, you can pull your support at any time
Please contact Grace Boland to voice your concerns
grace.boland@oireachtas.ie
Conscious Uncoupling
The FFG Government has become so toxic their backbenchers are desperately trying to disassociate themselves from it.
The Worst Government Ever!

Except of course if they use public transport to get to work
Those people will have to pay at least 15% more to get there
Tánaiste and Minister for Finance Simon Harris has said this year's Budget will support people "who get up early every morning and go to work".
