Public bike scheme widened to Galway, Cork and Limerick

A public bike scheme similar to that in Dublin is to be rolled out in Cork, Galway and Limerick this autumn.

The An Rothar Nua consortium has been awarded the contract for the provision of public bike schemes in the cities, with the total cost of the project in the region of €4.5m being provided by the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport.

The scheme will cost around €1.25m per year to operate.
