Ms Karen Kenny:

As Ms Walsh has already highlighted, there is a distinction between what the CSO defines as the city and suburbs area. Generally, it would refer to the built-up area around the city and the wider metropolitan area which refers more to the functional urban area around a city. The figure that is in table 4.1 that Ms Walsh set out is actually the city and suburbs area. It is not the wider metropolitan area. It is defined by the CSO on the mapping that is used as part of the census process. That is defined by another agency. It would not be appropriate to bring another settlement into that.
