A sanctuary for urban wildlife in Cork could be irreversibly harmed by BusConnects' proposed land use changes. 

Beaumont Quarry is an abandoned limestone quarry situated near Cork Constitution and Páirc Uí Rinn on the southside of Cork city — it serves as a recreational space and holds significant value for local biodiversity.
