No. It covers the functional geographical area of the local authority. In the case of Limerick, it covers all of the county of Limerick and Limerick city. If someone lives in Montpelier across the bridge from O'Brien's Bridge, which is less than a third of a mile, his or her knowledge test will include areas such as Athea and Abbeyfeale but not O'Brien's Bridge, Ogonnelloe or Clonlara, which is where the programme will serve. That is ridiculous.
