Lol, Stacky repeating the same old shite.
Offering comparison with cities that have light rail networks and/or tram systems.
Through placing significant cycle infrastructure throughout the city and removing hundreds of parking spaces and dozens of loading bays they've made town an increasingly inconvenient place to visit and do business in.
The proof is in the steady stream of businesses shutting every single month. Keep howling at the moon, 'Im right, right' with accompanying Echo articles and glossy brochure pullouts. It doesn't make you any less wrong.
'Oh you want to park outside Keanes like its 1970', 'the truth is a bitter pill to swallow', you're repeating this tripe with years.
Cork is wrecked. It is only going to get worse as they create even more choke points throughout the city. Summerhil North, The Northgate Bridge, Leitrim Street, South Main Street, all fucked for traffic. The list continues to grow.
Keep tilting at windmills saying otherwise. Pure nonsense.
Dan as per usual rattled out of his thin skin by real world data and facts.
You can set a clock by you at this stage as Cork last week was voted one of the best liveable cities.

24th best city in the world in terms of quality of life by the international research and data website Numbeo.

Cork placed high on
the list of 195 cities in their 2023 mid-year report, but the company said their rankings update constantly as they get access to new data.
We're relatively on par with the cities that placed slightly above and below us on the list, but there's a notable drop in how we performed when looking at healthcare.
Cork also has a bigger gap between house prices and income levels compared to the cities that placed near us on the list, indicating the ongoing housing crisis stopped us from ranking any higher.
Dublin was the only other Irish city to earn a spot on the list, trailing far behind at number 113.
