Brakes put on bid to exempt cyclists from one-way rules

A BID by one of the country’s surviving Green Party public representatives that cyclists be exempt from one-way directions on certain streets in Ennis has hit the buffers.

At this week’s meeting of Ennis Town Council, deputy mayor Cllr Brian Meaney proposed cyclists should be allowed travel the wrong way on one-way streets without sanction.

He claimed it was standard practice in towns in a number of European countries that cyclists could cycle the wrong way up one way streets.
