'We are starting to relax again': Cork woman relieved after NTA scraps plans to carve up her garden

Original plans would have resulted in the loss of a large chunk of family's drive, the loss of their car-parking space, the loss of the area to the side of their house, and the loss of a large chunk of their back garden

A woman who risked losing almost half her family's garden in the BusConnects plans has spoken of her relief after the National Transport Authority (NTA) scrapped the proposals for her home.

“We are starting to relax again,” Sarah Adeleke said.
