Plans for the first phase of a 10km greenway in Cork have been scrapped just days after a major survey showed most citizens want more sustainable transport options.

The city council has confirmed that the proposed 1.4km Maglin greenway in Ballincollig will not proceed as planned, with potential amendments including an alternative route now up for discussion over the coming months.
