Two northside city council seats move south
A committee established by Environment Minister John Gormley to examine local authority areas has recommended that the River Lee should act as the natural north-south boundary, as is the case with Dáil constituency boundaries.
The change will result in parts of Bishopstown, the Model Farm Road, Gilabbey Street and Mardyke areas, which were part of the five-seat north-west ward, being transferred to the south-west ward.
