Cycle lane & pelican crossing right of way ?

You are confusing this with a toucan crossing.... Cyclists can cross with pedestrians.

Pelican crossing in Belfield... I almost got taken out, cycling across it

You'd still have to be on the crossing to have the right of way even walking, so priority already ceded?

fwiw one on my commute in, also directed on from the cycle path, and I assumed it applied to me on a bike to me walking to be honest. Most people driving seem to treat it that way too - and usually give way. I will be putting in a clarification request with the relevant local authority though…

Irish Engineers, determined to do things better and different to countries with much higher levels of active travel.

Taxi-ist will also give out about you taking the road when a "perfectly good" cycle lane already provided.

It's a good and fair question. But one which, as a cyclist, I have too little time on this earth to bother worrying about. If you have to burn brain cells trying to figure out wtf you should be doing in any particular scenario on a cycle lane, that for me indicates that it's not fit for purpose (other than for kids going to school) and I won't be using it.

Can you imagine if motorists had to deal with such conundrums every day… "this white line is broken, but the traffic sign is 20 metres further down, and if I'm turning left, and it's a bus lane, but if the traffic is backed up"… forget about it, majority will just do whatever suits them best in that moment and then wring their hands about the hard pressed motorist just trying to go about their day if pulled up on it.

It's one set of standards for motorists and another set for everyone else.

Looking at the photo, I see a zebra crossing, not a pelican crossing. Aside from that, are there any signs are markings on the cycle path on the approach to the zebra crossing, to suggest that it is a combined pedestrian/cycle zebra crossing? If not, then the zebra crossing is for pedestrians only and as such, cyclists should dismount to cross, turning into pedestrians in the process.

It’s an interesting question.
If an e scooter is in the cycle lane and scoots up the left hand side of a car, and then shoots across the front of the car using the pelican crossing, and the car has to jam on as the escooter wasn’t in the drivers eye line like a pedestrian would be- who is then at fault?

There used to be a 'painted' cycle lane leading to this roundabout. It was replaced with a wand-separated cycle lane that becomes a shared path leading to this crossing, a shared path after and then separates again later. The road has been significantly narrowed and taking the road will mean cars backing up behind you as you cycle up a hill and lead to far more aggression (and imho, danger).

It's an SDCC special, they're uniquely bad at this compared to other Dublin CCs.

This junction isn't compatible with the Cycle Design Manual, but I can't find anything to suggest cyclists can't cross by cycling at a zebra crossing.

Most recent legislation (that enabled combined zebra crossings):

The latest traffic signs manual:

Curious what legislation requires a cyclist to dismount?

Also a number of pelican crossings on my route also have a button, and light, for bikes.

I'd argue that a cyclist that expects a driver to stop for him when he is still 10 meters back from the crossing is taking the piss.
