Cork Luas: What 1,000 residents have to say about light rail plan

Ann Murphy delves into the newly-published objections and observations on plans for Cork’s light rail system — including not one but three suggested extensions to the proposed route

St Patrick's Street is at the centre of the proposed Cork Luas route, but many of the public observations focus on either end, including Ballincollig and Ballintemple — and the 'missed opportunity' that it does not connect to Cork Airport and areas including Blackpool and Glanmire.

There were times when Brendan Crowley could leave Dublin Airport at 6.30am on a flight to Manchester and be at work in an office in Cheshire at 8.45am.

The Cork man used planes, trains, and automobiles to get from his then home in Kildare to a work engagement in Crewe, some 48km from Manchester Airport.
