It is now obvious why the Green Party only campaigns in a half hearted way for cycle lanes etc etc

Perhaps it is because their well heeled members and supporters such as Green Party TD Ciaran Cuffe have shares in oil companies etc

I have 3 questions that I and a good few other people have been curious about for a few years now:
1 when will Green councillors effectively demand and campaign for another pedestrian street in Dublin or is Grafton street enough for this affluent party.

2 Why do cities in the capitalist USA use more clean electric powered vehicles than cities in Ireland and Europe where green parties have substancial electoral support?

3 Where are the effective campaigns for more proper cycle lanes in Dublin and other urban areas?
