Watch: Details unveiled for Cork-Limerick road and greenway  

An 80km dual carriageway combined with what could become one of Ireland’s longest greenways has been recommended as the preferred transport solution to connect Cork and Limerick.

Bypasses are proposed for Mallow, Buttevant, Charleville, New Twopothouse and Banogue, with the notorious accident blackspot at the Ballybeg bends, just south of Charleville, also set to be bypassed, and there are recommendations too for enhanced bus and rail services between the two city regions.
