Two of the three of the respective councils have published proposed station locations and photomontages of their schemes today and yesterday:

  • Cork (details of public display only)
  • Galway (locations and photomontage)

Local media around the country were today reporting on some details:

The schemes are currently out to tender to build and run, as we reported two weeks ago:

That tendering process is at the pre-qualification stage – the companies selected are expected to provide submissions detailing their bids to run the schemes before the end of September.
