Traffic plans for Cork: City car ban ‘must be done sensitively’, warns business leader

Tinkering with Cork City’s traffic network should be conducted sensitively and with caution, a business leader has warned.

Cork Business Association’s (CBA) chief executive Lawrence Owens also warned there was “a huge body of work that needs to happen within the city” before a private car ban on the city centre’s St Patrick’s Street becomes effective.

Approval by city councillors, on Monday, of plans to ban private cars from the main thoroughfare yesterday drew a mixed reaction.
