Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council expects to submit a planning application for the 8km DLR Connector to An Coimisiún Pleanála, the national planning board, in Q3/Q4 this year, council officials have told councillors. Cllr Eoin O'Driscoll (Fine Gael), who represents Stillorgan, said: "The DLR Connector will create a continuous cycling connection from Dundrum through to Dún Laoghaire. For Stillorgan, one of the key pieces is here on the Lower Kilmacud Road, where the existing cycle lane currently comes to an end outside Mount Anville Primary School.

Fianna Fáil held an emergency meeting tonight amid frustration over Fine Gael politicians publicising details of a new sports grants scheme before it had been finalised.
The row is now expected to be discussed by the Taoiseach and Tánaiste.

This week in my #calling353 piece for @thejournal.ie I consider the Ed Sheeran song “Galway Girl” and what its lyrics reveal about its composer.

The Green Party in government cut public transport fares by 50% for young adults, by 20% for all, free for children up to 8 years old, free for people with disabilities like epilepsy.

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are trying to put the blame of these public transport fare increases on the National Transport Authority.
Make no mistake - these fare increases are a political decision and a result of this Govt's disinterest in public transport and their disregard for its users.

To raise public transport fares by 15% in the middle of a cost of living crisis is a slap in the face to these commuters, who see the hundreds of millions that Government has spent protecting some sectors from inflation costs, yet they are expected to pay out more, every day, every journey.
