This afternoon.
Start your engines.
WIP? Work in progress.
TII? Traffic, Transport Infrastructure Ireland.
Our Insect overlords.
Are they multiplying?
Tipperary-based apple farmer and horticulturist Cornelius Traas writes:
I Had a van driver delivering to me yesterday. His van was covered in squashed insects (see above). He said he hasn’t seen the likes in 25 years. I was noticing the same a few days ago.
Our chat ensued about how this was mostly just because many less vehicles on the road at the moment. Then we went on to discuss how many more are probably now surviving due to less traffic. And then to how much of a factor traffic is in insect decline.
And conversation then went to possibly mathematically modelling the contribution of traffic to loss of insect life in Ireland. Always felt it was a major factor. This looks like evidence.
Anyone?
Mick on the case in Ballycotton, restricting people going up the cliffs to do Ballycotton Cliff Walk.
Ballycotton has a being completely thronged with people for years and with #COVID19 it has gotten insane. pic.twitter.com/DNMDADDflH— Áine Flynn (@AinesFlynn) March 22, 2020
Yesterday.
In Ballycotton, east Cork, no nonsense ‘Garda Mick’ directs traffic away from the carpark for the popular cliff walk.
Hard but fair or frankly ridiculous?
YOU decide.
Meanwhile…
Fair dues to #Garda Mick in #ballycotton 🚨
Visitors asking where they could park

Moved about 50m in 30 mins! 100s of cars idling in traffic, great job with the eco friendly festival so far #ATN19

At standstill here on the way to @alltogethernow. First thing we did was establish a pee corner. #atn19 pic.twitter.com/2HSHHWPVgb

So disappointed with #AllTogetherNow so far – took 6 and a half hrs to get here, no toilet roll in the toilets, v poor signage on how to get to the different campsites. Hundreds of people waiting to get registered for tents. Total mess. pic.twitter.com/Hc8lSj0S8Z

I thought I had seen everything. This selfish motorist decides to drive on the footway in order to avoid the traffic queue. Unbelievable!
Could not manage to get the reg, otherwise this would have gone straight to the gardaí.

One of the new 55m Luas trams on O’Connell Bridge, Dublin last week
Justin McCarthy, of RTE, reports:
The Dáil has been told that passengers taking the new Luas Cross City line at rush hour would be “quicker walking” because of congestion in Dublin city centre.
The claim was made by Fianna Fáil’s transport spokesman Robert Troy.
He said he took the Cross City line from Dawson Street to O’Connell Street this morning “in order to experience for myself the length of time”.
“It took 20 minutes, I would have been quicker walking,” he said.
“Coming back I took a taxi in order to be here for Question Time. [It took] 25 minutes.
Passengers are ‘quicker walking’ than taking new Luas line, Dáil hears (RTE)
