Cork Northern Distributor Multi-Modal Road

In 2025, plans for the "Cork Northern Distributor Multi-Modal Road", an outer ring road north of the existing R635, were published for public consultation.^[3][4] The new road, which has been the subject of objections from Glanmire residents,^[5] and praise from Cork businesspeople,^[6] would span c. 14 km, linking the Glanmire Road to the N22, 3 km west of Carrigrohane.^[4] The road could alleviate congestion around Apple Inc.'s European headquarters, with its 6,000 employees.^[7] Earlier plans from the National Transport Authority in 2020, showed the road meeting the N8 on Cork's east quays.^[8]
