Local Government Minister Eoghan Murphy urged to legislate on Cork boundary

Cork City Council has urged the local government minister to introduce legislation quickly to give effect to a city boundary extension.

Councillors voted last night in support of city mayor Tony Fitzgerald’s formal request to Local Government Minister Eoghan Murphy to legislate following Cork County Council’s rejection of a compromise boundary plan on Friday.

Mr Fitzgerald notified county mayor Declan Hurley of the outcome of the vote by phone afterwards.
