Vol. 466 No. 5
105 Mr. Kenneally asked the Minister for the Environment the criteria used to decide what constitutes a town; if he will list all towns in the country on a county by county basis; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11844/96]
Various definitions of towns, with different criteria, are used for different purposes. The term "town" is defined in the Interpretation Act, 1937 as the area comprised in a town not being an urban district in which the Towns Improvement (Ireland) Act, 1854 is in operation. Towns, as defined for census purposes, are listed in tables included in volume 1 of the Census of Population, 1991.
The towns which have elected town local authorities are set out as follows on a county basis.
