Having Limerick people vote in Kerry North ‘illogical’

PLANS to make 14,000 Limerick voters cast their ballot in the Kerry North constituency at the next election have been described as illogical.

Labour leader Eamon Gilmore said the move amounted to the “dismemberment” of the county and was proof that an overhaul was needed of the way the Constituency Commission set electoral boundaries.

Mr Gilmore was addressing one of his party’s local election selection conventions in Limerick last night. He called for an extra layer of public consultation to be built into the process of revising constituencies.
