[OSM-talk-ie] New Local Electoral Areas 2018

[Cormac O Murchú]

Let me just explain a tad.

 

There are a lot of name changes between 2014 MDs and 2019 MDs.

 

Brian is correct on the final names, rely on the SI in question there. Here
are most of the boundaries bar Dublin,  Cork (City) and Galway (City)

20Committee%20No.1%20Report%20-%202018.pdf

 

This recommended (apropos Louth) is on page 82

 

Drogheda Municipal Borough District – comprising Drogheda Urban and Drogheda
Rural local electoral areas 

Dundalk Municipal Borough District – comprising Dundalk South and
Dundalk-Carlingford local electoral areas 

Ardee Municipal District – comprising Ardee local electoral area

 

The SI states.

al+2018

 

(a)  The Municipal District of Ardee consisting of the Local Electoral Area
of Ardee

(b)   b) The Borough District of Drogheda consisting of the Local Electoral
Area of Drogheda Rural and the Local Electoral Area of Drogheda Urban;

(c)    (c) The Borough District of Dundalk consisting of the Local Electoral
Area of Dundalk-Carlingford and the Local Electoral Area of Dundalk South.

 

This affects Canonical Names not the actual boundaries, which is most of the
work anyway. It appears that the name= field should contain

 

. name=The Borough District of Dundalk

 

And not 

 

. name= Dundalk Municipal Borough District (like the committee recommended)

 

BUT the boundaries, being sets of EDs recommended by the Committee as
forming an LEA or an MD are not changed in the Sis and there is a handy
description and map in the boundary committee pdf. 

 

Urban Boundaries for the 6  Urban Local Authorities, including the new Cork,
are in this report.
