Cork Airport link proposed for Luas during public consultation

The Taoiseach pledged to accelerate the delivery of the light rail system amid calls from the Labour Party for work to start on it before the end of the decade

The Cork Luas also includes a proposed 1,000 vehicle park-and-ride facility at Clash, a new public transport bridge connecting Kent station to Kennedy Quay, and a 'mobility hub' in Mahon.

Hundreds of people attended the first open day on plans for the multi-billion Cork Luas, with several suggesting it include a link to the airport.

As public consultation opened on the emerging preferred route, maps of the draft route were on display, and engineers from Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) were available to answer specific questions as the first of four open day events got underway at the Kingsley Hotel.
