The Hard Shoulder Highlights

Are we addicted to the car?

Early signs are that the government will look to expand incentives and alternatives to driving such as the bike to work scheme in a hope to break Ireland’s car addiction. Is this a realistic hope to transition from cars to bikes? And is the current biking landscape safe and fit for purpose? Newstalk Reporter Bella Finn gets reactions from the public. To discuss, Kieran is joined by Brian Caufield, Professor at the School of Engineering in Trinity College Dublin, Transport Commentator Conor Faughnan and Newstalk’s Technology Correspondent, Jess Kelly.
