    Now councillors are furious they were not told that advertising signs which were to be removed from buildings as part of the deal, could be legally reinstated by the building owners.

    Cllr Mary Freehill (Labour) said: "I'm in favour of bikes, but what I'm talking about is when we're presented with information that is not so, nobody told us they were not going to be removed. I want to know why we were not told that.
    "We were quite frankly sold a pig in a poke. It's very hard for us to believe what we're being told when we get such incomplete information."

    Surely part of the job involves being sure you have all the available information before you vote on something? Or did they just take as gospel everything JC Decaux told them and not bother to check the legal situation out for themselves?

    They were informed by their officials that the already agreed contact was "commercially sensitive", and hence could not be released to them or the public.

    At no stage did the City Law Agent, Mr. Terence O'Keefe, or the City Manager, Mr. John Tierney, contradict this version from officials. Why not?

    The service is also accessible to children between the ages 14 to 18. Their
    subscriptions (dublinbikes Ticket or Card) are taken out by their legal guardian or
    under the liability of this clause and in accordance with Article 8.5 below.
    8.5 The service is not accessible to children under the age of 14, whether they are
    accompanied or not. Like any other user of the service, a person over the age of 14
    must have a valid subscription.

    so you do need a credit card

    Residents are due to be able to sign up to the long term subscriptions using direct debit too.
