The recommendations of the Cork Implementation Oversight Group as contained in their Report entitled Proposal for delineation of extended boundary of Cork City have been accepted by the Government in their decision of 12 December 2017.  Against this background, it is my intention that the local electoral areas in Cork City and County Councils will be reviewed in advance of the 2019 local elections and I intend to announce the arrangements for the review shortly.
