Why Cork needs transport plans that benefit the whole city — not just one side of the Lee

Dividing the city with parochial concerns just serves to give Dublin the last laugh - and who wants that?

The kneejerk reaction of any southsider or northsider in Cork when a project is announced is invariably, or so many commentators would have you believe, to narrow the gaze and jab a finger at what ‘them over there’ got.

They. Them. Norries. Southside snobs.
