County councillors urged to declare stance on boundary report

Pressure is mounting on Cork’s county councillors to declare their position on the landmark city boundary extension report.

They are due to meet today to discuss the 26-page implementation oversight group (IOG) document which recommends the first city boundary extension since 1965. It was accepted by the Cabinet on Tuesday.

It will be councillors’ third meeting since the compromise boundary extension proposal emerged last week. The council has, to date, only noted the report’s contents.
