Madam, – In response to Michael O’Donnell (October 16th) who is planning to “mount a campaign” regarding footpaths/ pedestrians, I would like to submit, that as a daily cycling commuter in Dublin, I would welcome further discussion in this area.

My daily commute is from Killester to Ballsbridge and is approximately six miles each way. Of this, approximately 700-800 yards is a cycle lane. Furthermore, where such a lane exists, it ends abruptly and I’m forced back on to the road.

Like everything under this Government, the whole issue is badly thought out and implemented – Yours, etc,

LIAM MEEHAN,

Killester, Dublin 5.
