Some areas might think they have lost a service but I do not think they have. It provides much better connectivity from the north side to the south side of Cork. It provides end-to-end journey routes that make sense. Delivering that is now the key. That public consultation is under way. The quicker Cork can deliver on that, the more it will thrive. I do not see anything to stop us other than political will. I think the council will be up for it because what is the other option? It is just a car-based system that is a sprawl system. That is the key issue for Cork and I think Cork is ready to make that leap.
