Cork city and county can continue to thrive as joined-up area

AS THE chief executive of Cork County Council and the former chief executive of Cork City Council, it is my experience, working with both teams, that there has always been a genuine sense of enthusiasm for co-operation and support.
Since the publication of the report of the Cork Local Government Review Group, I am however dismayed that some stakeholders have opted to promote a boundary between the people of Cork and have decided the outcome before the establishment of an implementation group, as proposed by Environment Minister Alan Kelly.
