Cork City Docks
As per Chapter 3 Objective on investment for holistic infrastructure for metropolitan areas.
Of particular note: •
The redevelopment of the docklands is strongly linked to the relocation of Port activities from the city and development of new Port of Cork facilities in Ringaskiddy, the construction of the M28 Cork to Ringaskiddy and facilities at Marino Point. Cork Docklands are key to unlocking the travel demand for the proposed Light Rail system and will greatly enhance the potential for high-density mixed-use development in Docklands.
