200 staff could face council transfer

Cork county councillors have insisted that their staff are kept constantly updated on any transfers to City Hall they may face as a result of the city’s proposed boundary extension.

The council has lodged a statutory proposal to the city council to cede it territory in Frankfield, Douglas, Grange and Ballyvolane.

If this is accepted by the city council, which has up to six months to decide, it will result in the transfer of approximately 211 staff from County Hall to City Hall.
