Cork Metro

[Ogre Moran]

We have waited 20 plus year regardless of the context - if proportionate funding was given
Michael with the sound bite of I can't put a date on it but I will push for it - sure that's another 20 years plus.

It's too late public consultation, they're proposing putting it through housing estates, gardens and businesses. For example do they really think they can bulldoze through the venue bar and Con the owner will agree to it? Literally apartments is the neighboring property are they gonna knock the apartments too?
Another example given all the sporting activity in MTU between the college/LGFA/Cork Gaa/Schools how are they putting it through the pitches and green areas?
People give out we don't have enough sporting facilities yet on the same hand we go ah nah lets put a Luas through a full sporting complex.

As I said lash in all your hills and inclines - Bus Eireann won't run electric buses in Cork due to it. Yet people think a luas will work on same terrain..

As pointed out the Macroom bypass was listed in the 80's first. 2023 it opened... 40 years...

Don't get me wrong I'd absolutely welcome it and be unreal as would make life easier, I used the luas, I've used it in Sydney and Amsterdam, I've used the underground/metros in UK and how beneficial they all are but I just can't see the even the proposed route working, as I said just a coincidence it's published same day the new platform in Kent is opened by Government?

TII think Cork folk are as much soft touches as their politicians. The publican has every right to be extremely put out. And the supposed Corkman who is Taoiseach living up the hill from him.

Map doesn't look very accurate to me tbh. What they've labelled Mahon is hardly Mahon - apart from Mahon Golf Course, Ballintemple has moved east (The line between 18 and 19 through The Venue Bar would surely be the heart of Ballintemple), and I think Ballinlough again has been moved east of where it more properly is imhoa. Docklands looks a bit of a stretch from the docks too

Your claim that it goes between two population centres of Ballinlough and Ballintemple is a big stretch.

Of course much depends on what the criteria is that they've in mind - apart from being another sod-turning exercise for the plebs, and to be cheer led by the shills.

If it's to move relatively large bodies of people from population centres, shopping, hospitals and schools and colleges then I think they've missed a trick. But I don't think it's likely to come to fruition any time soon so I won't be losing any sleep on it.

I literally got that from the Luas Cork site, I'm not claiming anything.

When you put up the map did you not also claim:


“3 Docklands - Ballinlough - Mahon is understandable as it goes between the two population centres of Ballinlough and Ballintemple”

The important thing when we don't get this light rail network is that we've removed as many parking spaces as possible.


No ones using the cycle lanes?


Better build more cycle lanes

For a fella that likes to call out people for being overweight you have an awful chip on your shoulder about the promotion of active travel, cycle lanes are necessary to protect cyclists from the thuggish behaviour of motorists who insist on making life difficult for those who wish to commute by bicycle.

Would Con be better off selling now? A potential buyer might see it as a great investment, when you consider what could be coming down the track

It’s hard to gauge, Jimmy.
