Cork City Council has effectively ruled out more consultation on route options for a greenway upgrade despite controversy and criticism of the process.

Gardaí have also distanced the organisation from a ‘garda’ submission made during the non-statutory public consultation on route options for phase two of the Passage railway greenway upgrade.
