Cork has the second largest natural harbour in the world.
The River Lee is a prime part of our city's heritage.
Yet the plan fails to include any meaningful or ambitious plans for river transport in Cork.
There should be numerous public passenger ferries running on the Lee as part of Cork's public transport network - for example, City Centre to Blackrock, Passage West, Cobh and more. Cities like Bordeaux, Sydney and others embrace their rivers and harbours and take advantage of them to reduce congestion on their already-full road networks. We can do the same in Cork.
The plan talks about an integrated public transport system yet fails to mention one of our largest assets - our river, the Lee and the greater Cork Harbour.
