A party spokesperson said the bike was locked up at the time. They added that Ryan was likely to be report the matter to gardaí.

Can you give my stolen bike national coverage ?
Sorry Kevin
I’ve been meaning to drop it back.
Hard to imagine a health conscious thief!
If you become a failed government minister ,yes I think it’s possible .
I can’t take it any more – I have to decided to enter politics …
Seeing as it is only mainly Dublin people that read this I’ll let ye in on a little secret of how I am going to get elected ..
I’m getting a mate to steal my hurley and then I’m going to go down to the pub and cry into my pint and tell all the place that my hurl was stolen ….elected in no time
“Ah sure wasn’t he the lad that was crying because he lost his hurl – give him a voteen sure he needs a boost the poor craythur !”
Any chance Eamon Ryan Was on it when it was stolen?????…
No such luck .
Someone picked it out from under his ass – he’s used to letting that happen !
I can’t stand it when he pretends to be all self appeasing and humble what a slime in my book ….very poor actor !
Maybe Twas the Green Party “spokes person”…
Slow news day?
“Ryan could not be reached for comment this afternoon.”
Yip.
Dozens of bikes are stolen daily. I hope you’re not going to report on all of them.
Tyreing stuff!
Its not stolen,it’s Recycled,
Hopefully, this will reduce his visits to the Journal.
Real men ride women!
Bicycle theft is no joke. I paid hard earned money for mine, and I rely on it to get to work to pay my taxes towards to keep the thieving mothers in their dysfunctional lifestyles.
What is actually being done to arrest this. Sweet f all.
Well that escalated quickly in one sentence.
Ruth, You pay taxes so Ryan, Gormley, Dan and the rest of the failed green party can relax and draw your taxes as pension. That’s how it works.
Have the guards arrived yet ?
Defo water protesters took it
Tracksuit wearing white socks up over them pebbling like fck somewhere keeping things green
I’ll keep good care of it.
Cycle it around & take pics of it in various locations and send him the pics,
Welcome to the real world, theft is rife everywhere, No law system
This guy Ryan is a Financial Predator who taxed the poor with a penal obscene annual Car Tax for their old cars (Pre-2008) of €951 p.a. while his wealthy friends who can afford new cars get the Low Car Tax of €280 p.a. Disgusting.
I’d really recommend for people to check out this video about how to lock your bike properly. It’s amazing the number of people who risk having them stolen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVd9-0HhsfA
Hard luck Eamon. It’s a pain in the ass and there’s little chance of catching the creep who nicked it!
The Trioka did it .
Alan Kelly has just been spotted doing wheelies around Leinster House on a very similar bike!!
Ah sure he can get another one through the bike to work scheme cant he
Maybe the ‘carbon tax’ those cabbage headed compost wallower’s inflicted on the nation could be used to replace it, wonder if the genius had it on his house insurance?
These stories are really starting to lack something…… um yes a point
Ah sure look on the bright side Eamon, at least you’ve reduced your carbon footprint even more now.
Does this mean he’ll go back to riding the Irish public???
What do you mean go back??? He never stopped
At least he can buy a new one out of the gross ministerial pension he takes from the irish taxpayer each month.
Lucky because of the carbon tax he put on heating the family home the government won’t miss the fortune he gets every year.
Check Ebay…
What a pity. Guess he’ll just have to use his gas guzzling audi now!
Oh well… I used to give money to good causes back in the day, but i had to stop because our greedy unpatriotic incompetent politicians needed the money to maintain their unjustifiable living expenses. Thats life!
Try again all eamon wants to do is https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ncQsBzI-JHc
Tosser
Poor all he wants to do is https://m..com/watch?v=ncQsBzI-JHc
A pity it was that he was not on it when it was stolen.
LOL
