Yesterday saw the launch of the Coca-Cola Zero bikes scheme in Galway. It was the first launch of the scheme outside the successful scheme in Dublin city. I commend the Government for investing €5.1 million in the scheme which will be rolled out to Limerick and Cork in the near future. This is of huge benefit not only to local people but also tourists. It is anticipated that there will be 750,000 trips in the first year of the scheme. This means that there will be fewer cars on the roads and fewer emissions. It will also promote healthier lifestyles. The launch in Galway will be a great addition to the city, with bike stands at Eyre Square, the Spanish Arch, the cathedral and the Claddagh. The scheme will eventually be rolled out to other areas such as Salthill and the Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, GMIT. This is hugely beneficial for commuters and tourists in the area.
