The Cork version of the DART will move a step closer today.
The Government is to place an order for 90 new battery-electric train carriages, which will be used to expand the DART system into the greater Dublin area and eastern region.
However, they could also be used for a future rapid transit system in Cork.
It's estimated the expansion could see 600,000 people have access to rapid transit by 2026 when they're delivered.
