Boundary extension ‘vital’ to boost city’s economy

A WATERFORD city councillor has accused Kilkenny of retarding the port city’s economic growth as the long-running battle to extend the county boundary into the Marble City continues.

Fine Gael Alderman Tom Cunningham has expressed frustration with the slow progress on the issue, which has met with stern opposition from Kilkenny.

“Kilkenny County Council’s resistance seriously retards our economic development,” he said.
