Micheál Martin launched an eight-week public consultation on the Luas Cork project, an 18km light-rail line linking key city destinations. The project aims to connect areas like MTU, UCC, and Cork University Hospital to a new public transport bridge and cycling infrastructure, addressing future transport demands as Cork's population is expected to grow significantly. Projected costs range from â¬1bn to â¬2bn, and the line will facilitate increased passenger capacity, with plans for a park & ride in Ballincollig. Completion time remains unspecified as funding will depend on economic factors.
Micheál Martin emphasized that Luas Cork will greatly enhance the connectivity of the city by transforming its public transport network to be more accessible.
As Cork city anticipates a population growth of 50% to 60%, the proposed Luas Cork light-rail line is positioned as vital for future transport needs.
