This general election is critical for Cork. This is a city of great potential, but we desperately need vision and ambition to fix our broken public transport system. Please take a look at our GE Manifesto, with 12 key areas to fix transport in Cork. corkcommuter.wordpress.com/2…

“Just correcting what was there” The Minister’s flippant disregard for one of the most important Public Transport measures in a generation is as disgraceful as his lack of personal accountability when it comes to road safety So much for “helping workers who get up early”

We are happy to witness the Luas Cork project move on to the next stage. Accounting for capacity and routing concerns, we are pleased there has been a general improvement in quality within this iteration of the proposal. Read our press release below. corkcommuter.wordpress.com/2…

While we’re waiting the publication of documents at 11am, the new route indicates quite a significant change from the proposed Emerging Preferred Route in Bishopstown. While this version is able to bypass challenges on Bishopstown Road, it remains to be seen whether…

Because of recent developments around the ‘Grok’ tool of this platform, we are working on transitioning our full presence to other media sites.

Well, that answers my question 🤦‍♂️ They've undone pretty much all the road safety measures started by the last government now.
This government abandoned lower speed limits and abandoned reforms to the RSA. Is this what "deeply concerned" and "doing everything" looks like? Red light cameras were supposed to be installed early this year. Where are they?

This would be good news for our friend in @CorkCommuter if Government had bothered to commit any funding to it in the recent NDP review

Cutting this line is also cutting off Cork from direct access to Rosslare - removing freight, business, and tourism opportunities for Cork and the southeast. This government is intent on undermining the transport gains of the previous five years.
They've done it again, they've cut more rail projects. The most criminal one for me is cancelling the reopening of the Waterford-Wexford/Rosslare line. On the left is the All-island Rail Review published by the last government and on the right is the plan published today.

Not to mention the removal of the Shannon Rail Link. The scarce rail gains for Cork in the original plan were sold on the fact that there would be fast and direct services to more cities, towns, and transport hubs. More rug pulling, and yet more defunding of public transport.

🙄 BusConnects Cork not finished until after 2030 🤫 No mention of Blarney station with its P&R 😴 Luas Cork, long fingered until the 2030s 🙃 "Glanmire Urban Greenway" is already funded... 🫥 ...and radio silence on Glanmire-to-city centre
Great news as Government approves the €24.3bn Transport Investment Plan, a transformative step toward a modern, sustainable and better-connected Ireland. Well done to Minister Darragh O’Brien for driving this forward.

Decades of underinvestment in public transport amidst the ongoing housing crisis have led to this Government inaction & in some cases direct obstruction means commuters will continue to suffer behind the wheel, when they could be moving on a train or bus rte.ie/news/regional/2025/11…

What’s with our politicians? Always negative even when Irish Rail is doing the right thing. We need better and more frequent bus replacement during engineering works not less. echolive.ie/corknews/arid-41…
