We'll see if it's voted for in the next few hours, posted the transport section of Greens renewed programme for Government over on the commuting and transport board, (from here). Here's the cycling part of it...

Transport
...
· Vigorous implementation of the National cycling strategy
· We will develop Bray to Balbriggan cycling and pedestrian route
...

Tourism
...
· We will promote the development of cycling as a growth area for tourism and introduce an All-Ireland Walkways Development Plan

"Vigorous" implementation of the National cycling strategy sounds good if they can manage it, and the Dublin bay cycle route plan has been expanded.

I saw specific mention of the reversal of the CIÉ policy on not allowing bikes on buses/trains too:

We will reverse the CIE policy of excluding and limiting bicycle carrying capacity
on interurban trains and buses and ensure all new train units have a more
extensive bicycle carrying capacity.

Yeah, from the document rather than the summary...

We will vigorously pursue the delivery of the Government’s “Smarter Travel
- Sustainable Transport Future” and the recently published “Cycle Framework Policy” document.

Cycling
· We will reverse the CIE policy of excluding and limiting bicycle carrying capacity
on interurban trains and buses and ensure all new train units have a more
extensive bicycle carrying capacity.
· We will develop a Bray to Balbriggan cycle and pedestrian route, and other
similar routes such as Oranmore to Barna, as major tourism and commuter
facilities.
