Also theres weeds/mini bushes growing out of the wall so if you someone coming at you heading towards the city you dont know if your going to clip a branch.

The wall casts a big black shadow over the ground on the outbound lane and, combined with the glare of the oncoming traffic on your left, makes it hard to see. I have a Lezyne XL on full tilt pointing at the ground and it's still hard to see whats coming at you. Had a very close call/near miss with a ped walking towards me in the cycle lane there last winter - didn't see them until I was right in front of them (mind you, I don't know how they missed the fast moving christmas tree bearing down on them:rolleyes:).

Loads of issues from other cyclists with lights on full power/strobe mode cycling on the 2 way cycle track towards me! Pls turn your lights from "road warrior" mode to low power when on a two way cycle track! Not to mention the two A**holes who cycled two abreast at speed against me on a narrow curve in the cycle track where the pedestrian crossing is from the cycle track to the old Howth road...Pee-ricks the pair of them!
