Greens hope to win votes with water-bus plan

THE Green Party will call today for the development of a light-rail system and a water-bus service for Cork city.

Party leader Trevor Sargent will announce details of his party’s ambitious transport proposals at a press conference in the city this afternoon, during which he will also announce the party’s Cork-based candidates to contest the next General Election. Details of the proposed projects will be outlined later.

Cork City Council is already close to finalising a major feasibility study on the provision of an Amsterdam-style water-bus service in the city.
