It's very telling that RTÉ News platforms a Garda representative group's spokesperson and a business lobby org, rather than - say - local stakeholders and community groups, anti-poverty orgs, healthcare workers, etc.

"There's nothing that makes people feel more comfortable thank seeing a Guard [patrolling] on the street."

- Richard Guiney, CEO of Dublin Town, 23 August 2023.

Speak for yourself, Richard.

Why don't #AnGardaSiochana enforce the bus lane in #Stonybatter? It's one of the major bus lanes into #Dublin city centre, and it's almost always abused for parking throughout the day, holding up bus traffic and traffic in general into town.
