...I'm sorry to disrupt you while you're reading this article, but without messages like this, IrishCycle.com's reader-funded journalism won't survive. With nearly 1/2 million views and 300k readers so-far this year, it's not just people who are dedicated to cycling that this website reaches. However, the number of subscribers is around 0.6% of readers. While having a large gap between readers/subscribers is standard for non-paywall reader-supported journalism, IrishCycle's journalism needs more support. Don't delay, support monthly or yearly today. Now, back to the article...

The campaign aims for higher quality cycling infrastructure and looks to members of the public to ask their elected representatives to sign up at CyclingForAll.ie — it is supported by most cycling campaign groups and by this website.

By pollical party, the current sign ups of elected members include: 75% of Aontú (although with just 4 elected members), 73% of the Green Party, 59% of the Social Democrats, 25% of the Labour Party, 6% (one person) of Solidarity-People Before Profit, 5% of both Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil, and 3% of Sinn Féin. It also includes 11 independents.

By councillors only the breakdown by council area is topped by Dublin City Council with 21 signees, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown with 14, Kildare with 11, Fingal County with 9, South Dublin County with 7 and Wexford with 7.

A break down by councillors by council area is below. This breakdown does not include 22 TDs, Senators and MEPs (see full list).

 

 


...That's the end of the article. Keep scrolling if you want to the comments, but IrishCycle.com *NEEDS* readers like you to keep it that way. It only requires a small percentage of readers to give a bit each month or every year to keep IrishCycle.com's journalism open to all. Thank you.
