Medics campaigning for a protected bike lane between the main hospitals in Cork city say it could be a positive outcome of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Irish Doctors for the Environment (IDE) group is now urging City Hall to engage in a positive dialogue on the proposal after more than 1,500 people, including the president of UCC, Prof Patrick O’Shea, signed their petition calling for a protected cycle corridor between Cork University Hospital, the Bon Secours Hospital and the Mercy University Hospital.
