A large section of the planned BusConnects project for the Bishopstown area has been scrapped after the publication of the Cork Luas route last week.

In an email to public representatives, seen by the Irish Examiner, a National Transport Authority (NTA) spokesperson said a large section of the sustainable transport corridors (STC) scheme, the 'Bishopstown to City' section, was not going to be progressed.
