Madam, - It beggars belief that Iarnród Éireann's Intercity services are following Commuter and DART services in banning carriage of bicycles. One wonders what sort of couch-potato civil servant thought this up.
Apart from local users of the trains, I thought we were trying to encourage activity tourism. It's enough to have farming interests trying to exclude walkers from wilderness areas, without this further disincentive. - Yours, etc,
