Maree Basketball

Congratulations to ATU Galway basketball coach JAMES BURKE on being inducted into the Galway Basketball Hall of Fame tonight — a well deserved honour after a life time of dedication to the game both as an distinguished player and coach.

Over the years, you’ve had a huge impact on so many young players that have come through our college, not just through coaching basketball, but through the time, encouragement and commitment you’ve given to every team and player you’ve worked with.

Thank you for everything you’ve done and will comtinue to do for basketball in GMIT & ATU Galway and for the generations of players you’ve helped along the way. A fantastic achievement and very well deserved. 🏀👏

High-visibility gear can help cyclists be more noticeable, and many riders choose to wear it for added confidence on the road. But safer cycling can’t depend on visibility alone.

Too often, the conversation around bike safety focuses entirely on what cyclists should wear or do, rather than addressing the systems and behaviors that prevent crashes in the first place.

Real safety improvements come from building streets and policies that better protect people on bikes, including:

✅ Protected bike infrastructure
✅ Better driver education and awareness
✅ Stronger enforcement of dangerous driving behaviors
✅ Close-pass laws that give cyclists adequate space
✅ Accountability for repeat traffic offenders
✅ More connected, traffic-free bike routes

Creating safer roads takes more than individual precautions. It takes communities, policies, and infrastructure designed with cyclists in mind.

What would you add to the list? Share your thoughts in the comments.
