Transport
- Infrastructure improvements have recently been made with the construction of a bypass road to the east, which allows traffic bound for nearby Crosshaven (R612) to avoid the congestion of Main Street. A similar road to the west was in the late planning stages, and construction was expected to begin in 2006. This was expected to facilitate the westward expansion of the town to add to the long and congested Main Street. However, this development has stalled. There are also plans at the development stage for the upgrading of the main Cork-Carrigaline road, which also serves Ringaskiddy.
- Carrigaline has the highest proportion of workers commuting to work by car in Ireland (74%).
- Nearest airport is Cork Airport
- Carrigaline was formerly served by the narrow-gauge Cork, Blackrock and Passage Railway. Carrigaline railway station opened 18 June 1903, but closed 1 June 1932.

Famous quotes containing the word transport:
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
