Cyclists who break red lights could face fines

Cyclists who break red lights or cycle the wrong way up one way a street could face fines, under a new set of offences being announced this morning.

Transport Minister Paschal Donohoe will bring some of the 36 road traffic offences for cyclists into the Fixed Charge Notice system.

He has ruled out bringing in penalty points for cyclists.

Speaking yesterday, Minister Donohoe said fines will not be imposed for parents who cycle on footpaths with their children.

"Some people put forward a view that there would be particular offences that we would be targeting, but I had not made my mind up in relation to that

"I've now am doing that and have done that, will be announcing what those charges will be, and what the behaviour will be that will cover them,

"I don't want to be in a situation where we change the status quo for parents or guardians who might be on a near footpaths, for example with young children."
