Extension ‘fundamental’ for city’s future — Lord Mayor of Cork

The Lord Mayor of Cork will tonight formally propose that Cork City Council approve the expert advisory report recommending a boundary extension, claiming it is “fundamental” to the future of the city.

The report, published last Friday by Simon Coveney, the minister for housing, planning, community, and local government, commits to two local authorities in Cork.

But it wants to extend the city boundary, in what the minister said would be the most ambitious move of its type ever undertaken in this country.
