This general election is critical for Cork. This is a city of great potential, but we desperately need vision and ambition to fix our broken public transport system. Please take a look at our GE Manifesto, with 12 key areas to fix transport in Cork.

We are happy to witness the Luas Cork project move on to the next stage. Accounting for capacity and routing concerns, we are pleased there has been a general improvement in quality within this iteration of the proposal.

There’s a lot of improvements in the revised Cork Luas plan - but there’s still further to go. Full analysis coming later.

…this alternate route deals with any CPOs in the most effective way possible. More to come.

While we’re waiting the publication of documents at 11am, the new route indicates quite a significant change from the proposed Emerging Preferred Route in Bishopstown. While this version is able to bypass challenges on Bishopstown Road, it remains to be seen whether…

[Cork Commuter Coalition @CorkCommuter]

The next round of consultation on the Luas Cork will begin tomorrow, Friday the 17th. We will be providing analysis and input on the new version of the Emerging Preferred Route, both here and on Instagram at @/corkcommuters

Because of recent developments around the ‘Grok’ tool of this platform, we are working on transitioning our full presence to other media sites.

Well, that answers my question 🤦‍♂️ They've undone pretty much all the road safety measures started by the last government now.

[Dublin Commuters @DublinCommuters]

This would be good news for our friend in @CorkCommuter if Government had bothered to commit any funding to it in the recent NDP review

[Cork Commuter Coalition @CorkCommuter]

Cutting this line is also cutting off Cork from direct access to Rosslare - removing freight, business, and tourism opportunities for Cork and the southeast. This government is intent on undermining the transport gains of the previous five years.

[Cork Commuter Coalition @CorkCommuter]

Not to mention the removal of the Shannon Rail Link. The scarce rail gains for Cork in the original plan were sold on the fact that there would be fast and direct services to more cities, towns, and transport hubs. More rug pulling, and yet more defunding of public transport.

[Feljin Jose @Feljin_J]

They've done it again, they've cut more rail projects. The most criminal one for me is cancelling the reopening of the Waterford-Wexford/Rosslare line. On the left is the All-island Rail Review published by the last government and on the right is the plan published today.

🙄 BusConnects Cork not finished until after 2030
🤫 No mention of Blarney station with its P&R
😴 Luas Cork, long fingered until the 2030s

🙃 "Glanmire Urban Greenway" is already funded...
🫥 ...and radio silence on Glanmire-to-city centre

[Dublin Commuters @DublinCommuters]

Decades of underinvestment in public transport amidst the ongoing housing crisis have led to this

Government inaction & in some cases direct obstruction means commuters will continue to suffer behind the wheel, when they could be moving on a train or bus

[Rail Users Ireland @RailUsersIe]

What’s with our politicians? Always negative even when Irish Rail is doing the right thing. We need better and more frequent bus replacement during engineering works not less.

Cork BusConnects has received full cabinet approval

Great news for our friends in @CorkCommuter

[Cork Commuter Coalition @CorkCommuter]

BusConnects Cork has received full cabinet approval. This is an important step for the future of Cork’s bus network, and is essential in order for planning permission to be submitted. Great to see - let’s get building.

Post-consultation report from the Cork Luas EPR consultation period has released. Heavy focus from the public on extending the route further, and fixing bottlenecks in Ballincollig and Churchyard Lane. Take a read below.

[Oliver Moran 🇪🇺 @oliver_moran]

The city’s footpaths are a critical part of our urban infrastructure. Unfortunately, maintenance has been overlooked for a long time.

That’s why, this year, Cork City Council agreed to take a €4m loan to enable a step-change in footpath maintenance across the city.
