Michael Moynihan: ‘Award-winning’ Luas Cork faces criticism from a fair cross section of society

The proposed light rail system 'needed to support Cork’s future growth' has been criticised by community groups, sports clubs, specific individuals, and public representatives

The project team behind the Cork Luas was named Best Rail Team of the Year at the Rail Link Awards 2026.

Great to see the return of  Disco Pigs to Cork last week — a 30th-anniversary production opened at the Everyman to a five-star review here from Marjorie Brennan.

The original production starred Cillian Murphy and Eileen Walsh, whose star quality blazed even in the production I saw, which involved a couple of chairs upstairs in the International Bar in Dublin all those years ago.
