Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 October 2017
711. Deputy Catherine Martin asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the relationship between the proposals put forward under section 29 of the Local Government Act 1991 by Cork County Council and the work of the Cork local government implementation oversight group, including the implementation plan that it is producing for the alteration of the boundary between Cork City Council and Cork County Council. [42544/17]
View answerThe general responsibility of the Cork Local Government Implementation Oversight Group is to oversee arrangements for the alteration of the boundary between Cork City and County Councils. The Group's terms of reference are designed to facilitate and support the agreement of arrangements between the two local authorities.
Cork County Council has initiated a proposal for alteration of the boundary under Part V of the Local Government Act 1991. As this proposal is the subject of a statutory process which may lead to an application for Ministerial decision, it would not be appropriate for me to comment on the matter.
