Readers Blog: City should be extended but it needs to be funded

Firstly may I say I support the idea that Cork City should be extended into a large metropolitan area encompass-ing Douglas, Ballincollig, Little Island, Cork Airport, Blarney, and Carrigtwohill. Moreover, I would go further and also include Ringaskiddy, Currabinny, Carrigaline and possibly even Cobh in this new Metro area.

This would be to ensure that all the major industrial zones and population are part of one large whole.

Thereby giving the enlarged area much more clout and influence (assuming it was well run).
