— Video clip shows motorists entering contra-flow cycle lane at speed with little visibility of what’s ahead.
A leading cycling campaigner in Cork has pleaded with Cork City Council to act on segregating cycle route, especially sections of contra-flow cycle routes which the city has left exposed.

Donovan added: “Nobody should need to die here to see action.”
