Plans have been unveiled for a multi-million public realm upgrade to improve access to and from Cork’s south docklands — one of Ireland’s largest urban regeneration sites.

The scheme, which could cost between €10m to €15m to deliver, includes new public transport, walking and biking links, new landscaping and quayside parklets, and major improvements to the streetscape of the inner-city neighbourhoods adjoining the south docks, where hundreds of millions in development is under way on sites including the former R&H Hall site and the former Ford’s distribution site.
