Plans for temporary bus depot in Cork's Tivoli Docks 

Currently at overcapacity at its existing Capwell Street depot, the proposed new depot would provide parking for approximately 150 buses. Picture: Larry Cummins 

Bus Éireann plans to develop a new temporary depot in the Tivoli Docks due to an “urgent need” for additional space, which is constraining the rollout of the BusConnects programme.

Despite not yet having planning permission, a tender has already been issued for the project which has a construction budget of €8m.
