Public transport in Cork is set to be transformed as the Government commits over 9 million euro to bus, rail and road projects
Cork Chamber says the advancement of rail, light rail, bus and road projects will strengthen Cork's role as Ireland's second city but swift implementation is essential
One billion euro has been allocated to the Cork Area Commuter Rail project which will see increased capacity on the Mallow, Cobh and Midleton lines
Cork Chamber's Conor Healy told RedFM News it marks the largest rail investment Cork has ever seen
"One of the more exciting elements of this is the 1 billion investment over the next number of years on suburban rail services, and that can be delivered, and there's been a lot of progress made over the last couple of years on that and we're moving very quickly towards having the equivalent of a DART type service in Cork, with the rail services from Mallow out to Midleton down to Cobh, 10 Minute frequencies, electrified lines and so on"
