Since the introduction in 1996 of a revised boundary alteration code under the Local Government Act 1991, applications from a number of local authorities to alter their administrative boundaries have been determined and implemented and these are listed in the following table. Further details of these boundary extensions are set out in the relevant statutory instruments, which are cited in the table.
In only one case was an application not determined and the applicant local authority, Limerick City Council, was advised to develop a revised proposal on the basis of updated data. I intend to bring into effect later this year new arrangements regarding local authority boundary alterations based on provisions in the Local Government Act 2001 which will replace those of the 1991 Act.
