The Cork Electric Tramways and Lighting Company, was a subsidiary of British Thomson-Houston, a major electrical contracting company.〔Hidden Cork - Charmers, Chancers and Cute Hoors, Michael Lenihan〕 The contractor for the permanent way was William Martin Murphy who later became chairman of the company. The power station was built by Edward Fitzgerald (later Sir Edward Fitzgerald, 1st Baronet) and the engineer for the system was Charles Hesterman Merz. The gauge of the tramway was gauge, selected to allow trains from the narrow gauge Cork and Muskerry Light Railway and the Cork, Blackrock and Passage Railway to connect using the tram lines. Services started on 22 December 1898 when the company had 17 cars in operation. Over the Christmas period, weekend traffic was heavy and there were some minor accidents and injuries, including some passengers who, having been celebrating Christmas, fell from the tramcars.
