Nice to see some sensible progress, seems very reasonable.
I hope the boot is big enough for two bikes in the ministerial car.
Seems reasonable. The commissioner wants to provide security, and the minister wants to cycle while in Dublin.
If I nearly get knocked off the bike all the time and nobody hates me I’d be nervous being Eamon Ryan cycling around Dublin
Cycling Garda sounds like a Fr Ted character like the dancing priest.
They very delicately pointed around the fact that this gobshite has up until now had a gardai driver follow him in a petrol powered car while he cycles around ‘for the environment’
He’ll make the Garda cycle ahead of him so he can run every red
Get one of the bikes from E.T. aul Eamon could sit in the basket and snooze away
Eamonn would wanna be careful of bicycles…when a man lets things go so far that he is more than half a bicycle, you will not see him so much because he spends a lot of his time leaning with one elbow on walls or standing propped by one foot at kerbstones.
This is actually reasonable but there will be people who will think this is ridiculous and a waste of time.
All jokes aside, it is sad that nowadays our politicians require personal security.
Politician actually acts according to the principles he espouses:
Braying mob: How dare he
Sure what’s a garda on a bike gonna do to protect the man, angrily write up a ticket for jaywalking? Ask the offender to fuck off?
Headphones on while cycling, smart move Eamonn.
Can we just start taking it seriously when gobshites threaten politicians instead?
If someone turned up at your house and threatened to harm you, we’d want the Gardaí would do something. When it happens to politicians, they “don’t want to cause a fuss” and have proceedings dropped. That just gives the gobshites license to do it again.
We need to nip this in the bud or we’ll end up like the UK, where its nearly impossible for ordinary people to meet their MPs (unless they’re donors of course) because of “security concerns”. We need to be able to meet our TDs face to face so that they don’t forget that they’re our representatives.
I’ll never forget Pat Rabbites speech about the Green Party Minster on a bike being followed by a Garda unmarked protection car carrying the lunchbox with Ryveta and organic tomatoes 😅
Wheely?
Potential sitcom idea? Or even a great romance story?

An official tandem bicycle would be an idea.
It would be good for the laughs if nothing else.

Can we get a third cyclist to follow them around playing [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnHmskwqCCQ) on a saxophone?
