Post-match public transport after the historic Munster game in Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Thursday has been branded a “shambles” with calls for the State to fund extra bus and train services when the city hosts big events.

Cork City Council has warned that the city’s street network has no more capacity to accommodate more private car usage as midweek traffic levels have returned to pre-Covid levels.
