Green Councillor calls three politicians 'spineless cowards' over shortened bollards

A Green Party Councillor called two TDs and a fellow Councillor "spineless cowards" over the shortening of bollards along a cycle lane.

SuperValu in Ranelagh claimed the new cycling bollards along Ranelagh Road were preventing trucks from parking outside the shop when making deliveries. The manager of the supermarket emailed local TDs Jim O'Callaghan and Ivana Bacik and Councillor Dermot Lacey outlining his concerns, according to a report in IrishCycle.com.

The representatives emailed Dublin City Council officials and requested the issue be "resolved", but in a tweet sharing the cycling news website's article, Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown Green Councillor Oisin O'Connor launched an attack, calling the three representatives "spineless cowards".
