Boundary Extension for City?

What has the GAA got to do with anything? Do people actually see this as one of the issues?

yes a lot of people do, they have pride in their county and are proud to call themsleves (waterford or kilkenny) men and women... it can be a very emotive topic for some.
to take it away can cause upset to some, in reality it makes feck all difference to most average joes who administers them whether it be KK or WCC, but taking away something that they have had pride in for most of their lives is an issue

But the GAA isn't being taken away or changed in any respect. It's not an issue.

The gas generation plant at Great Island. The ESB in the mid 1960s sought a location for an oil generation plant to provide supply security for Waterford and link into the national grid. They examined the three corners of Great Island, Snowhill and Cheekpoint for suitability. They settled on great Island for depth of Water and because grid linkage did not require overhead cables across Waterford Harbour, but went from Wexford to co Kilkenny via Ballinlaw instead.

Great island is Wexford.

while its great it does not secure any Electrical Infrastructure for Waterford.
Waterford has issues with Electrical infrastructure, especially the sub stations that are feeding the likes of the IDA estate .

Sub stations are not strategic infrastructure. Power stations are

I suppose that says it all really. Five miles down stream from Waterford city and "its Wexford" as if it was in Outer Mongolia. No offence, but that's the kind of thinking that has killed this region. It feeds into the national grid there and the 220KV line that feeds from there to Kilmagemogue, Kilmeaden.. I am not sure there is an issue in Waterford city with power to areas like the IDA estate, the only place that I have heard is that power supply to Belview is inadequate.

there is supply and infrastructure issues...a lot of very old infrastructure cause supply issues

i only mentioned the electricity generation as it was raised as being a plus point for that waterford i was genuinely curious.. I do agree makes no odds as the grid is the grid
it was also closed down by the ESB and it is only in recent years is it under private ownership

You seem to be looking for some straw to clasp at. The sub stations are not significant problems to modernize. The strategic infrastructure is modern and has a massive amount of capacity. The County Wexford  is typical of the BS that passes for an substance. The continued existence of the power station is down to it being able to be supplied by Gas which is there because of the gas supply to Waterford. It is in a remote part of Wexford next to virtually nothing. As far as transmission of electricity goes to the first to points of interest which are Belview and Waterford. 
  If sub stations are creating a supply issue then they will be replaced by the ESB. That is if they are but my gut is telling me this is something your inflating. Otherwise the ESB run the risk of litigation by users of the grid and operators of the Power Station.

I am personally quite irate over the whole issue. Mary Butler was elected by Waterford to further the interests of Waterford people, but once she's in power decides she will support Micky Martins stance on the issue. Because Micky Martin know's the issues affecting people in the region ????.

I heard Bobby Alywards rediculous response to the the independent reports recommendations. His emotive and and lackluster response was rather embarrasing.

I heard Bobby Aylwards interview on Sound Cloud. The sh!t this guy said was unbelievable.  He actually claimed KK is responsible for the Port in Belview.:D I think he also said that KK provided the new Water Supply Infrastructure there . These two things have nothing to do with KK. The Port of Waterford and Capital grants from the government  are the reasons the Port was able to move downstream. The Water Scheme funding came from when Cullen was in cabinet. The amazing thing is I think he actually believed it! Shocking Stuff! Shocking as that was it was nothing compared Mary Butlers comments (Just Googled Them)
She is nothing but a f*cking traitor to her own people. She should be told if she doesn't support this then  prepare to go the way of Ciara Conway. She has just confirmed she is going to be useless and just do as she is told by Micheal Martin. Paudie Coffey made that mistake.

sorry but I never said they where strategic they are a vital part of the infrastructure and have issues..
no straw grasping or anything.. not a put down comment, a statement of my interactions with the two main sub stations (one is ok, one is bad)on the estate.

to the wexford point, again let me explain in english someone here mentioned waterford generation and i was generally curious as to what this was in relation too .. i was just correcting the record with noting it not Waterford ... no grasping of straws again... just a fact.. .

actually the gas supply to it was not from Waterford either, it wasnt big enough to supply the plant..
The starting point of the natural gas pipeline is at an existing Bord Gáis Networks facility at Baunlusk approximately 6km south of Kilkenny City
they brought it down through wexford and kilkenny specially for the power plant...

Robtri, the independent legal boundary commission has sat and made its recommendation that the extension should be granted. That debate is over. Maps posted here show that its mostly a return to historic boundaries. Stop beating the drum. Two things need to be said. The Port of Waterford was developed at Belview without any financial input from KKCC. The water supply was limited from the start and Martin Cullen in government ensured finance was provided to bring water to the site for the benefit of the port into the future, whatever county it was in. Its a regional asset. The second thing is that the Waterford city waste water treatment plant (cost nearly €100m) was essential to the location of Glanbia. I understand that there was an ESB supply problem at Belview but this may have been overcome with Glanbia on site. The whole ESB network around Waterford city was substantially upgraded about 10 years ago with that Sierra company on site for a couple of years. The 220KV ring grid supplies
Waterford.

And back to the gaa argument again...how many times does it need to be said, you can still fly your kk flags.

Interesting to see how much Waterford has invested in the area (currently Co Kilkenny) and also the false truths of KK investment in the Kilkenny coco submission.

I have looked at the KK people the last few weeks, it is the Daily Mail of local newspapers. Full of Sensationalism, false facts and twisted truths. An absolute rag!

where was i arguing the boundary in the last few posts

you tried to claim the power station as waterford

Max was claiming gas was from waterford supply

you originally claimed the water plants soley waterford doing...
absolutely agree its a great asset to the region and is great

you claimed a great esb infrastructure I gave my two cents worth.. about my experiences over the few years.

if the debate is over why u still arguing it?

You are playing a game of words by using the geographic counties to hide certain facts. Beliew Port and Great Island are  within a short distance of Waterford and  are essentially in the Waterford area. Beliew terminal is on the edge of Urban Waterford. The gas supply to Great Island Power station is via Belview terminal and the Industrial Parks adjacent to it. This is urban Waterford. The main transmission lines from Great Island run via Waterford.Great Island is closer to Waterford than any other urban center in the SE. The transmission lines to the east are of a lower capacity.All the important strategic infrastructure in region i.e. roads, energy, water,education and  medical are in Waterford. For someone who says things in "English" you have a poor grasp of the obvious.

Why? This is not a sovereignty issue. It's the same country. Stop going on like its the Donbass. It is a change in an administrative boundary that should have happened twenty years ago.

What has Waterford done to warrant such hatred from a Dubliner.

Pointless circular argument and pointless posts from people with little real understanding of the area. Childish rhetoric posted by people determined to stir up response and with no interest in fact. Robtri et al. Arrogance, Sickening? I doubt if some of the posters here even understand the meaning of those nine letter words. The arguments have been made the boundary commission has decided.

Slieverue play between both Waterford and Kilkenny depending, Slieverue isn't included in the extension anyway so completely irrelevant. Ferrybank play in Waterford.
