Re: Re: Limerick City Boundary Extension

On the matter of the Brosnan report. Is it not a bit redundant? The McCarthy report compiled to identify savings recommended having just 10 local authorities in the country.
Why not have a strong Mid-West authority, sitting in Limerick incorporating N Tipp, Clare, Limerick city and Limerick county?
The councillors won’t want this of course, but it would make sense
The arguments about county loyalty, sporting allegiance, etc. wouldn’t be an issue, as each area/parish would still be a part of its county, but each county, in its entirety would become part of a greater authority.
