  • Sep 21, 2018 Cyclist.Ie Calls for Increased
    Pre-Budget 2019 submission from ‘Cyclist.ie’ – The Irish Cycling Advocacy Network I. Introduction Cyclist.ie, the Irish Cycling Advocacy Network, is the umbrella body of cycle advocacy groups in Ireland and the member for Ireland of the European Cyclists’ Federation. Our vision is that cycling becomes a normal part of everyday life for all ages and abilities in Ireland. Cycling, as a mode of transport, offers numerous well documented benefits to society, including: • improved public health • reduced congestion • reduced greenhouse gas emissions • reduced air and noise pollution • more liveable and sociable streets and communities, and • High rates of economic return Unlocking these benefits requires targeted and sustained investment, and international evidence demonstrates that investing in cycling provides excellent value for money. From available data we estimate that spending on cycling currently only amounts to approximately 2% of Transport capital spending. This compares to recommended targets of 10% for cycling, and present European levels of between 5% and 8%. This very low proportion is not commensurate with the benefits offered by cycling, or with the significant economic costs which car dependence imposes on Irish society. To encourage people to make more journeys by bicycle; We call for 10% of the capital budget for land transport to be invested in cycling. At the same time, an increase in current spending on a range of different objectives which can support a transition to a cycling friendly society is also required. In this pre-budget submission, we first summarise the case for a substantial increase in government investment in cycling by showing how cycling aligns strongly with many different national policies and objectives.

  • List of Irish Mountain Passes
    List of Irish Mountain Passes The following document is a list of mountain passes and similar features extracted from the gazetteer, Irish Landscape Names. Please consult the full document (also available at Mountain Views) for the abbreviations of sources, symbols and conventions adopted. The list was compiled during the month of June 2020 and comprises more than eighty Irish passes and cols, including both vehicular passes and pedestrian saddles. There were thousands of features that could have been included, but since I intended this as part of a gazetteer of place-names in the Irish mountain landscape, I had to be selective and decided to focus on those which have names and are of importance to walkers, either as a starting point for a route or as a way of accessing summits. Some heights are approximate due to the lack of a spot height on maps. Certain features have not been categorised as passes, such as Barnesmore Gap, Doo Lough Pass and Ballaghaneary because they did not fulfil geographical criteria for various reasons which are explained under the entry for the individual feature. They have, however, been included in the list as important features in the mountain landscape.
