We see new housing developments in Cork. There is one on the Old Mallow Road but there is no bus service. We are talking about global warming and climate change but we are building housing estates where families will be forced to have multiple cars. That is why I am really anxious to have sustainable transport corridors and services at the St. Kevin's site.
My other point is on the prison in the Glen. A new prison was built several years ago but there was an old prison. There was talk at the time to the effect that the LDA was considering housing on its site. Has anything come from that?
