Cork boundary extension to be debated by local authorities

Cork City Council is poised to go on a PR offensive amid ongoing controversy over the city boundary extension.

City council chief executive Ann Doherty has invited every TD and senator in Cork city and county to attend a briefing on the issue in City Hall this Friday.

She said officials will outline the council’s interpretation of the Mackinnon report’s recommendations, and the rationale for the proposed boundary line will be explained.
