There has been good progress in delivering key elements of the Cork Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy (CMATS) which was published in 2020 including on active travel projects, BusConnects Cork, the Cork Commuter Rail Programme and proposals for light rail.
CMATS was developed by the National Transport Authority (NTA) in collaboration with Transport Infrastructure Ireland, Cork City Council and Cork County Council. Noting the NTA's role in the development of the strategy, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a direct reply in relation to progress on its delivery. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51
