The National Transport Authority (NTA) says it is already revising its €600m draft BusConnects Cork bus and bike lane plans, which have sparked controversy and criticism across the city.

The news comes days after the Taoiseach criticised parts of the government-backed transport scheme, which he said has left some elderly people in tears, and criticised the NTA for how it has handled the first phase of public consultation.
