“Disappointing” and “unhelpful” is how the comments of Waterford-based senator Paudie Coffey have been described by Kilkenny’s Cathaoirleach.
Matt Doran was responding to Senator Coffey who says he is now calling on Minister Simon Coveney to transfer the administration of an area of South Kilkenny over to Waterford.
In the Minister’s statement last week announcing there would be no county boundary change, he said that instead “new and imaginative structures” would be put in place.
However, Kilkenny County Council have issued a statement to KCLR saying they don’t think handing over control of the area in question, was what the Minister had in mind.
Speaking on KCLR Live this morning, Cathaoirleach Matt Doran says they won’t be taking it lying down.
