The struggle is starting and we count on everyone’s help,” one of the organisers said in a Facebook post.The group also says they’re looking to be taken seriously by gardaí when their bikes are stolen or when they’re attacked/abused.

In response to a query from TheJournal.ie, Deliveroo said that rider pay “is now higher than it was before the pandemic”. Deliveroo added that the safety of their riders is an “absolute priority” and that it is planning to introduce free personal safety alarms for all riders in Ireland that they can use in an emergency.

“They are frontline workers, so I think it’s appalling that they have to take risks with their own health and safety in order to earn their few bob, which is very very hard-earned,” Seery-Kearney told TheJournal.ie.
