A ferry connection may form part of a new, sustainable travel corridor for pedestrians and cyclists between Youghal, Co Cork and Dungarvan, Co Waterford, according to a lead engineer working on the project.

Sean Dobbs, a senior engineer in Waterford City and County Council’s economic development department, said a seaborne connection could be included to bypass "a tricky section" of the route. He was addressing the East Cork Municipal Council on what is known as the "Cork to Waterford Pathfinder Project".
