Council's 'Be Sound' campaign shows authority created 'outright dangerous' shared spaces
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Dublin City Council has created "outright dangerous" spaces in an attempt to roll out cycle lanes and shared spaces as fast as possible, it has been claimed. The council's "Be Sound" campaign encourages cyclists and pedestrians to look out for each other when using roads and pathways, to greenways. The campaign tacitly acknowledges the lack of foresight that's been afforded to proper spatial planning for everyone, according to Fine Gael TD Meave O'Connell. Deputy O'Connell said the council created impractical and some "outright dangerous" spaces in an attempt to roll out cycle lanes and shared spaces as fast as possible. Deputy O'Connell said: "Two months ago I called on the Minister for Transport to commence a review of the Design Manual for Urban Roads and Streets. This document sets out the primary guidelines for local authorities, and rarely gives any consideration to people with visual impairments. "In their earnestness to roll-out cycle lanes and shared spaces as fast and as widely as possible, local authorities created spaces that are not only impractical, but in places are just outright dangerous. It is ludicrous that in places around our city, older people and those with visual impairments have to step off buses directly onto cycle lanes." Deputy O'Connell went to say that the council should focus on how its work has impacted some of our most vulnerable road user instead of telling road users to "Be Sound".

Tributes flow as 'true legend' dad of three dies in tragic accident at home
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Heartfelt tributes are flooding in for 'a true legend' and 'great friend' Eamonn Egan, 58, who tragically passed away after an accident at his home earlier this week. The father of three and boss of the Irish division of global insurance heavyweight Lloyd's, Mr. Egan, died in an incident involving a tractor loader at his home in Maynooth on Monday. Despite the swift response from emergency services, Mr. Egan was declared dead shortly after their arrival. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has said it is aware of the tragic event and has launched a full investigation. Well respected in the corporate circuit and a one-time amateur jockey, Mr. Egan's passing has left many in mourning. Mr. Egan's death notice on reads: "Egan, Eamonn, Ivy House, Clonfert, Maynooth, Co. Kildare, June 2 2025, following a tragic accident at home, deeply regretted by his loving children Eddie, Emma and Ashlie, wife Sarah, brothers Alan, Declan and Fergal, sister Lorraine, partner Katherine, grandson Ethan, extended family, colleagues and friends. Rest in peace.", reports the Irish Mirror. Over the past days, family and friends have been sharing memories of a man they hailed as "tremendous" and "a true legend". "My sincere condolences to the Egan family. Eamonn was a true legend. Rest in Peace," said one mourner. "We both attended Oatland's College. Although Eamonn was a few years behind me, our paths crossed many times over the years in the insurance industry. Eamonn was always a gentleman in my dealings with him," another person added. "Deepest sympathies to his family and friends on his untimely passing. May he rest in peace." A third said: "My condolences to the Eagan family on such a sad loss. I am genuinely sorry to lose such a good friend. Eamonn always had a kind word and was always great company whenever we were together. "Our time together on the board of the British Irish chamber of commerce, and together in the Royal Dublin society. Social events were always social events when Eamonn was there, and his charm and personality always made the occasion one worthwhile. RIP." Mr. Egan's remains will be laid out at his home on Sunday from 4pm to 8pm, with evening prayers at 7pm. His body will be moved from his home on Monday around 11am to arrive at the Church of St. Patrick and St. Brigid's, Clane for an 11.30am Funeral Mass, followed by interment in Mainham Cemetery, Clane.
