Cork sports clubs find out about impact of changed Luas route day after Irish Examiner report

Officers of both clubs have asked to see maps showing the precise revised route, the Transport Infrastructure Ireland has declined to do so

When the emerging preferred route was published last year, concerns were raised about a light rail system sharing the notoriously busy Wilton Rd with cars and buses. Picture: LuasCork.ie

Two prominent Cork sports clubs were contacted by Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) only after the Irish Examiner reported that changes to the planned route of the city's Luas could impact their grounds.

Those proposed changes are part of the preferred route for the promised €1bn-plus light rail system — which is due to be published next week — and differ from last year's emerging preferred route (EPR).
