Boundary extension a ‘non-runner’

PLANS by Cork city manager Joe Gavin to extend the city boundary significantly into Cork County Council territory will never gain Government approval, a local Fianna Fáil TD warned last night.

Noel O’Flynn, a former member of Cork City Council, said the plans were far too big and should be rejected by city councillors.

The report outlining the proposed expansion of the city’s administrative area beyond Douglas and Cork Airport to the south, east as far as Little Island, north to Killeens and Rathcooney and west to Waterfall and Ballinora, will be put before Cork City Council members for approval tonight.
