Cork boundary extension focuses on commuters

Data justifying the scale of the proposed Cork City boundary extension has emerged ahead of a crunch meeting on an alternative boundary suggestion.

The figures show most of the workforce in the largest county areas affected by a proposed extension commutes to the city for work.

However, it is expected the county council’s surprise offer last week to cede certain land to the city will be “noted” at a special city council meeting on Monday, and city councillors will call for the boundary extension, as proposed by Mackinnon, to be implemented.
