City council urged to compete for tender to operate tunnels

The local authority that manages the Jack Lynch tunnel in Cork has been urged to compete against the private sector for the tender to run it as part of a single contract with the Dublin Port tunnel.

The call came from Cllr Denis O’Flynn (Lab) at a meeting this week of Cork City Council.

“We have managed the tunnel for the last 13 years and we have done a superb job,” Mr O’Flynn said.
