Michael McCarthy (Cork South West, Labour) | Oireachtas source

Yes. It was divided in two. The people of Leitrim had a very good petition and campaign. They e-mailed all Members of the Oireachtas to change that. It was a very serious breach of a county for a county the size of Leitrim to be thrown in with two different counties, Roscommon and Sligo. It was very unfair on them. I said to myself that maybe the commission would now do due diligence and take on board those views, but it did not do that.

There were large sections around Dunmanway town that are in Cork North-West.
