Unchartered waters with Limerick council merger

Local politics along the banks of the Shannon is entering uncharted waters due to the unification of the city and county to form a united assembly.

Unchartered waters with Limerick council merger

The new Limerick City and County Council will have 40 members. This means a loss of five seats from the old city and county councils, which had 17 city councillors and 28 county councillors.

The new electoral area has been broken into six districts. There are three metro districts in the greater city area and three municipal districts in the wider county area.
