It took Sean Canney's office two weeks to issue the below reply which failed to even try to touch on any points I raised into why raising PT fares is a bad idea. Do better, "Minister of State for International & Road Transport, Logistics, Rail & Ports"..

@IrishRail Hi folks, trying to book Cork to Dublin 6 Sept but cannot select seats for the Mallow to Heuston leg due to bus transfer from Kent to Mallow? No option to pick my seats for the train segment.

Mallow to Heuston has no option for seat selection? See below. These services are never unallocated seating.

I was dressed exactly like this when I was run over in Moycullen in broad daylight. The factors that most strongly influence cyclist safety are driver speed, enforcement levels, road layout, and safe cycling infrastructure, not what we are wearing. A 🧵
👀 Can you see me now? The importance of visibility on our roads cannot be understated, particularly for vulnerable road users including pedestrians, cyclists, e-scooter drivers and motorcyclists. #CanYouSeeMeNow #KeepingPeopleSafe

Brutalist, cheap to maintain. A huge disappointment. Hopefully all of our elected officials will raise queries into how this cost €7m and seems to have deviated from the original plans significantly. Council shouldn't get off lightly delivering this crap.
RIP Bishop Lucey Park Only green space in city centre is no longer a green space Seriously how did this cost €7million? Its depressing & says Cork says f*ck biodiversity & climate Ironically the one redeeming feature is that the railings & gates are gone to make it thoroughfare

President Michael D. Higgins and Sabina would like to thank all of the many members of the public who have written to them to wish them well as the President tonight completes his term of office. The thoughtfulness of so many people in writing to them is greatly appreciated

Long overdue
From Monday 18th August 2025, Cork City Council will introduce filtered permeability on York Hill which will be closed to through vehicular traffic between Wellington Road and Summerhill North. To support sustainable travel in the city, two-way pedestrian and cycle through access on York Hill will be retained. Vehicular access will be maintained to residential properties on York Terrace accessed via Summerhill North. @CorkSafetyAlert @CBA_cork @CorkChamber @RedFMNews @Corks96FM @echolivecork @irishexaminer @corkbeo

Hi @corkcitycouncil ! Why are you designing cycling infrastructure in 2025 that leads to direct conflict between bike users and pedestrians, and then spits bike users directly back onto the road before a narrow bridge with zero priority? This really isn't acceptable.Clontarf St

Hi @IrishRail can you please ask the conductor to enforce the Quiet Carriage on the 10.25 Cork-Dublin currently halfway en route? Kids running around and everyone on phones everywhere. Thanks.

Petition @corkcitycouncil to either (a) paint, (b) green or (c) demolish and start over with this eyesore of a car park 🥲 Our lovely quays deserve better.

Embarrassing @CorkAirport @Buseireann Machine for tickets broken yet again and turned off with not even a simple paper notice to inform passengers of alternatives. Passengers deserve better. Visitors deserve better. So, so embarrassing. Second largest gateway to Ireland!

Easter Saturday early morning services- 220 - utter failure once again from Bus Eireann to run a proper service on the city's only 24 hour route. Why bother.

MacCurtain Street public transport corridor.. No less than 8 vehicles parked across the bus lane for the night, and paths blocked too. Incredible sights and not a Garda to be seen.

Great to see such demand for bus services at Cork Airport at 1pm on a weekday afternoon. We need more frequent options and more routes serving all areas of the city and county alike @CorkAirport @Buseireann

MacCurtain St is now worse for pedestrians than it was before the public realm works.
