Independent TDs have most to worry about

Changes to the Waterford constituency will be of concern to TDs in Tipperary and Waterford City, writes Conor Kane

The recent constituency arrangement along the Tipperary/Waterford border which saw a small chunk of voters who live in Co Waterford voting in the Tipperary South constituency is to finish.

Under the Constituency Commission’s recommendations, this will spell the end of the “breach” of the Waterford border and bring two complete electoral districts — and parts of two others — into Waterford.
