Bishop Lucy Park has been altered for the worst in a €7 million ‘upgrade’ that has turned it from a park into a gravel path. Very real environmental concerns here. Less greenery all round, poor drainage, removal of trees, very little grass for people to sit on or bugs to populate.

Latest jewel in the crown of Marina Park; the Elevated Tree Walkway leading to Barrington’s folly, woodland walks and picnic areas. Access from the Cork Harbour Greenway beside the playground and slides. Spin out also onto the Marina Prominade and (shortly) the Atlantic Pond. #Cork

Sharing some numbers I came across this weekend —
Industry estimates all (all!) motoring-related taxes in Ireland is about €6bn. That's VRT, motor tax, excise on fuels, VAT on repairs. The kitchen sink.
NTA estimates cost to the taxpayer of motoring is about €0.14/km, which exceeds that in total.

Very poor design! The new cycle path by Clayton Hotel ignores proper approvals and fails to segregate cyclists from pedestrians exactly what we’ve been warning about in consultations. @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social @yayforbicycles.bsky.social @cyclingincork.bsky.social @irishcycle.com

I delivered the 700 page business case and cost benefit analysis for MetroLink to Michael O'Leary's office yesterday.
O'Leary said on RTÉ Radio that there’s been no cost-benefit analysis done on Metrolink which was then repeated on multiple news outlets.
