A second sports club, Highfield Rugby Club, has come out against the revised €2.5bn Luas Cork route cutting through its grounds.

The preferred route for the proposed 20km light rail service was published in April, refining last year’s emerging preferred route, with significant changes on the western end, in Ballincollig and Bishopstown. Public consultations on the revised route end next week
