Luas Cork

Where would it go on the northside? There is only one road wide enough and flat enough connecting the city centre to the northside - the N20. Everything else is way too narrow, too steep, and too much suburban sprawl. I do think they should eventually add a line from the City Centre to Blackpool via the N20, but when you put proper thought into it, you can see why there are no current plans for a northside route

A government show to great fanfare for self advancement. Seen hundreds of these with no substance to them.

Short term nature of Irish politicians means they see more value in the announcement than delivery.

This won't happen for 30 years.

Where exactly will this doubling of the population come from in 15 years??

Oh well in that case it might very well happen so. Seems to be the only thing that puts the state into delivery mode these days

Venue Bar aren't particularly happy as it cuts right through the middle of their bar and not a word mentioned to them

There's nowhere on the Northside for it to go really except Blackpool which is planned to get a station as part of the suburban rail network anyway. Most of the major trip generators in Cork are on the Southside like it or not e.g. CUH, UCC, MTU, city centre, PUC.

I'd have just thought it would be common courtesy to mention it before publishing, I'd like to know if it was going through my lounge 🙄

Any planned line will, inevitably, end up with the destruction of people's properties. I wonder how many private properties are impacted by this proposal. Does this publican think every property owner should have been contacted at this early stage. ? Or just him? He's some dose!

Hopefully goes through. Will be transformative for the city.
