Sports clubs impacted by the Cork Luas should be compensated with extra facilities and playing fields, transport minister Darragh O'Brien has said.

Mr O’Brien said he remains confident that construction on Cork’s light rail system will begin within the lifetime of the current Government, despite opposition to the preferred route from some local groups and political pushback from within the Coalition.
