Strong concerns raised in Seanad about 'illogical' boundary changes proposed for Cork city and county

Strong concerns about the proposed boundary change between Cork city and county councils were voiced in the Senate, with some of the measures branded “illogical”.

During a sometimes tetchy debate in the Upper House on Wednesday night, Government senators voiced strong concern to their own minister, John Paul Phelan, as to what they saw were “mistakes” contained in the bill.
