Two prominent Cork sports clubs were contacted by Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) only after the Irish Examiner reported that changes to the planned route of the city's Luas could impact their grounds. Those proposed changes are part of the preferred route for the promised €1bn-plus light rail system — which is due to be published next week — and differ from last year's emerging preferred route (EPR). However, while officers of both clubs had asked to see maps showing the precise revised route, the TII declined to do so. The preferred route is due to be published at 11am on Friday, April 17, starting a new round of non-statutory public consultation. A Bishopstown GAA Club spokesperson declined to comment.
