Dempsey reveals feasibility study into Cork Luas system at advanced stage

CORK could become the first city outside Dublin to have a Luas system as Transport Minister Noel Dempsey yesterday revealed a feasibility study on having a light rail system in the city was at an advanced stage.

Cork local authorities have commissioned consultants to provide an update of the Cork Area Strategic Plan examining the case for new city transport services.

They are expected to deliver a final report next summer, with recommendations about the cost-benefit of a Luas line for Cork.
