"We are keen cyclists and don't want to be portrayed as nimbys or rich people from Sandymount." Residents split on the Sutton to Sandycove cycle project.

You may have noticed new cycle paths popping up overnight, and your usual route becoming one way to cars. Is this part of Coronavirus mobility measures or have councils up and down the country given up on the private car? Using the pandemic as an excuse and not offering a public transport alternative? Henry McKean met a residents group in Sandymount who are coming to terms with a new 2.5 KM cycle track from Sean Moore Road to the Merrion Gates which is part of the Sutton to Sandycove cycle project, making a busy thoroughfare to the city one way going south. Henry McKean also visited Dun Laoghaire where their coast cycle track is finished, he rode alongside Robert Burns, Director of Service Infrastructure & Climate Change at Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council.
