When is ULEZ happening?

What's with another station in Carrigtwohill?

There is a massive thing here that is kind of being disregarded, it is essential to the entire thing and if not identified soon could drag it out for years.
"Contracts have also been awarded by Iarnród Éireann for the appointment of consultants for the electrification of the Cork commuter rail network and for the provision of a new maintenance depot for an electrified fleet of up to 150 carriages."

They have no idea of the location of the maintenance and storage depot for 150 carriages.

I suppose they will all be electrically powered, may have onboard batteries and therefore need to be charged etc.

Seems to be a bit premature in announcing this, as was mentioned elections are on the way so the dumb voters will be won over no doubt.

I also noticed mention of the engineering challenges of the Cork Luas, that corner on the junction of Grand Parade to/ from Washington St, seems to be a huge issue for it.

Bus Connects, yet another load of waffle.

They have 6 sites under consideration

It all sounds like an election stunt.

I've noticed they have a couple of different new trains on the Mton route now. One of them looks like a bullet train, while the other is done up in the classic Iarnród Eireann black and orange paint.

You'd do well to be very very careful with that sort of talk.

There's nothing on cork Midleton that looks remotely like a bullet train unless you're taking acid.

Listen m8, consider yourself warned.
Ask around - I don't take too kindly to being mocked like that.
A very friendly piece of advice - just watch it.
