Boundary move to leave 7,000 with no representative

HUGE areas of suburban Limerick with more than 7,000 residents will be left without any public representatives from March 1 when the city boundary is changed, it was claimed yesterday.

Michael Noonan called for the postponement of the boundary change until after next year’s local elections.

Otherwise, he said, residents in Caherdavin, Woodview and other parts of the north side of the city will be disenfranchised until the next local elections.
