Council favours single local authority

LIMERICK County Council has come out in favour of a single local authority to manage Limerick city and county council, in preference to further boundary extensions.

Minister for Local Government John Gormley set up the Limerick Local Government Committee (LLGC) under former Kerry Group head Denis Brosnan to bring forward proposals for the future governance of the greater Limerick area.

The decision of Limerick County Council will now be sent as a submission to Mr Brosnan’s committee.
