Up to 1,000 people took part in a march in Co Clare this evening in a protest against a proposed boundary extension of Limerick City into Clare.
A Government appointed Limerick Local Government Committee Report has recommended that parts of southeast Clare with a population of 3,000 people would be incorporated into a newly expanded Limerick City.
But those taking part in today’s protest said that if the proposal to extend the boundary is implemented, it would have a negative impact on their culture and other aspects of their identity.
Organiser of the protest Jim Gully said that while locals would accept a single authority to govern the region, they would not accept a boundary extension.
