No reversal of St Patrick's Street car ban despite calls for suspension

Transport chiefs in Cork insist there will be no U-turn on the afternoon car ban on St Patrick’s Street despite a formal call for its suspension.

And they have also said that planned public transport improvements in the short-to-medium term will focus on bus and rapid bus transport rather than light rail, with some €200m earmarked for the BusConnects scheme in the city over the next decade.
