City estates left in political wilderness

YOUR reporter Jimmy Woulfe made a good attempt (Irish Examiner, September 13) to explain the bizarre situation of how the Limerick City Council estates of Delmege Park, Pineview Gardens and Cravel Park in Moyross are actually in the county council area.

We in Sinn Féin conducted a survey this summer in the three estates to determine under which council’s jurisdiction the residents wanted to be.

That survey revealed a clear wish on the part of residents to be able to vote for city councillors who would be more responsive to their needs; indeed, almost 93% want to be in city.
