A Dublin councillor’s e-cargo bike was stolen in broad daylight in the city centre while she was inside a shop browsing for items for a St Patrick’s Day parade earlier this week.
Green Party Councillor Donna Cooney had parked her beloved e-cargo bike outside Trimmings store on Capel Street around 4pm while she was inside looking at supplies for the parade. Cllr Cooney was trying to keep an eye on her bike and then the next time she looked out the shop window her bike was gone.
Cllr Cooney told Dublin Live: "It's an absolute nightmare. I wasn't even buying the fabrics I was checking out what they had, I was just standing at the counter there and I couldn't bring in all the art stuff.
