Seven city centre routes have now been deemed unsuitable for cyclists, according to the National Transport Authority (NTA).

Following the development of new tram lines as part of the Luas Cross City works, the NTA have released a report which has found that some roads are "difficult or inappropriate" for cyclists to use.

They include Marlborough Street, Dominick Street, Parnell Square, Nassau Street, Grafton Street, Dawson Street and College Street.

According to The Times, the NTA is advising cyclists to dismount where there isn't enough room.

In conjunction with Dublin City Council, The NTA are set to develop alternative routes for cyclists including two way lanes through College Green.

The news comes as cyclists last week reported being stopped by gardai and prevented from cycling down Dawson Street.
