Martin Mansergh (Fianna Fail)

I hesitate to take issue with a Cork Senator although many of my ancestors came from Cork. What Senator Bradford argues is tradition versus geography. In any common sense definition, places such as Youghal, Cloyne and Midleton are in east Cork and not north-east Cork. I assume it was done because it is a more accurate geographical description, which on the whole should be preferred even if tradition goes with another description.
