Local election candidates Neasa Hourigan (Greens) for Cabra Glasnevin, Peter Horgan (Labour) for Cork City South East Ward, Oliver Moran (Greens) for Cork City North East and Peter Kavanagh (Greens) for Dublin Mid West.

Contact your local politicians and candidates

Tell your local councillors and your TDs that you want Cycling for All across Ireland with the required design and funding of 20% of the transport budget to back it up. Check if they are signed up at the national list or local list  (these lists will be updated).

If you don’t know your local politicians or need to find their contact details, you can find them via whoismytd.com.

The important thing is to keep it simple, tell them why you value Cycling for All — for TDs and Senators include the link: cyclingforall.ie/tds and for councillors send them cyclingforall.ie/cllrs
