I have a bugbear around this issue, to be frank. The Waterford MASP, for example, does not include the population of Tramore, which is 8 km out the road from Waterford city, whereas the Cork MASP includes Carrigaline, which is 17 km away. The Galway MASP includes Bearna, which is further from the city than Tramore is from Waterford. I saw the inclusion of a commuting zone as a positive. I am interested to know why Ms Bannon sees it as a negative.
