Cork County Council will create a business case to develop the long-awaited Great Island Connectivity Scheme, a €250m project to ease travel woes for residents of Cobh.

The project aims to improve connectivity to and from Cobh by “addressing resilience and vulnerabilities in the transport network”, with residents currently faced with a poor road network, which provides only one way in and out of the town.
