Dublin City Council CEO Owen Keegan wants the council to "aggressively restrict" road space for drivers in favour of cyclists and pedestrians.
Keegan was speaking at a cycling event that took place throughout Dublin city last week which was attended by cycling experts from Amsterdam.
With the capital not having any congestion charges in place, Keegan believes reducing on-street car parking and reallocating road space to cyclists is "the only option" to meet carbon targets.
