Pity they used a stock image form the US, plenty to photograph out there.

Lol at this bit:

Since the site went live, Cork has fixed nine potholes.

Wow, impressive work rate from Cork county council!

The bit just before your quote makes it clear that she's talking about children on bikes too:

“Cars and cyclists ferrying children to school have to drive on the wrong side of the road to avoid the potholes.” Joyce is the secretary of Coolfancy National School Parents Association and has organised community meetings that have been attended by Wicklow county councillors.

I was quite pleased to see cyclists briging children to school being mentioned along with motorists. Makes a change.
