Carrigaline is not in Cork City though. not offically or in reality. it's a good few miles across countryside considerable less built up than the countryside between Swords and Dublin for instance.

The train line would take a very long way round route to get here, the direct route goes over a big hill.

A decent Bus Eireann service would do wonders anywhere in Cork.
No service in Cork city is as good as the proposed BE service to Ashbourne say.

Any tram line in Cork should only go as far as Mahon and probably only serve new developments in the docklands to Parc Ui Caoimh The route should traverse the city and go to Ballincollig. Parallel to the Lee is the only viable route with the hills. Traversing the city would mean demolition at Frenches/Proby's Quays, he says drawing on his monitor with a crayola....



Cork city official bounds are very small compared to the actual city.
Most of Douglas is in Co. Cork for instance. this is why Cork city's population "Declined" in the census and why Galway's grew.
Galway city is far bigger than the currently built up area of Galway city. Not surprisingly it grew in the last census.
