...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...

He will give a 45-minute interactive talk which will be followed by a panel discussion with civil society, public health leaders, and policymakers.

The panel will be hosted by Sara Burke, director of the Centre for Health Policy and Management Trinity College, with panellists Paul Kavanagh, a specialist in public health medicine with the HSE; Sheila Gilheany from Alcohol Action Ireland; Francis Finucane, programme director for Ireland’s first MSc in Obesity at the University of Galway; and Janis Morrissey, director of health promotion at the Irish Heart Foundation.

The talk will start at 6pm and run until 7:30pm on Thursday, March 21st; tickets can be booked for free at eventbrite.com.


...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.
