Dublin Cycling Campaign was delighted to be invited along to attend the opening today (Thu 27 Feb 2025) of the Liffey Cycle Route from George’s Quay to Aston Quay. Hugh Raftery from our Executive Committee was there flying the Cycling Campaign flag.

It was a lovely bright morning for the event with the Lord Mayor, Cllr. Emma Blain, and Deputy Lord Mayor, Donna Cooney, doing the honours – and with a big turnout of City Council and National Transport Authority staff there as well.

There is now a fully segregated two-way cycle track from O’Connell Bridge to the end of Sir John Rogerson’s Quay. This connects with numerous cycle routes in the city – at last, a safe cycle network is emerging.

Dublin Cycling Campaign congratulates everyone involved in developing this route, but we urge the City Council to accelerate the advancement of a complete high quality cycle route along the full length of the river quays. This corridor is the lynch pin of a fully connected inner city cycle network for Dublin.
