Roche’s city boundary plan creates divisions

ENVIRONMENT Minister Dick Roche’s strategy to sort out the Limerick city boundary extension issue, which he announced yesterday, has created new divisions.

He has come under attack from Fianna Fáil opponents of a boundary extension, who accuse him of dodging a decision, but was praised by the Fine Gael Mayor of Limerick, who is leading the campaign for an extension.

The minister has called on the three managers in Limerick city, county and Clare to discuss the situation.
