Ringaskiddy Urban Realm & Active Travel — September 2025

In September 2025, the Ringaskiddy Urban Realm & Active Travel Scheme—delivered by Coffey Construction—was officially opened by Minister of State Jerry Buttimer TD, the Mayor of the County of Cork Cllr Mary Linehan Foley, and Cork County Council Chief Executive Moira Murrell. The scheme upgraded the village centre, added safer crossings and traffic-calming, refreshed lighting/landscaping (including wildflower verges and rain gardens), and created a segregated walking and cycling route from the Port of Cork entrance through the village to Gobby Beach. The Mayor said the works are “creating safer, healthier and more vibrant areas,” while Minister Buttimer highlighted that M28 completion in 2028 will remove congestion from the village. Ms Murrell added the project is “a key element” in supporting sustainable travel and village regeneration.
