Boundary Extension for City?

Jesus wept, the level of discourse on this topic has not improved in the intervening years. Is Sue Nunn an actual journalist? "I'm joined on the line from eeeh, eeeh,...Cheekpoint?....I think"(Sue, it's a village in your neighbouring county, he's not phoning you from Basra) It goes downhill from there.."uproar in South Kilkenny", blah blah, "GAA", blah blah. She can't even get the name of the local authority right referring to Waterford County Council repeatedly.
It's like every time this issue gets raised again (which it will until it gets done) the debate defaults to pure ignorance again despite much sensible information on the pros and cons out there to debate on, like try reading the boundary commission report Sue.
Sun Nunn: "Everybody is against this including the GAA, including business" Bullsh1t - most of the businesses in the area recommended to be moved would welcome this. As for this figure of over 20,000 locals against this - more bullsh1t. There were just under 20,000 submissions in total of which approx. 300 came from the area chosen to be moved which has a population of 4,500.
This fake news that the vast majority of people affected in the actual area actually chosen to change are vehemently against this needs to be called out.
It didn't help that Cllr. Jody Power didn't raise this, he doesn't seem to be on top of his brief despite being the one to raise this at Council again.
I wouldn't have expected much better from KCLR but it doesn't seem to be debated any better on WLR as Damien Tiernan's recent discussion with the union guy bears out.
This is an important topic for the city and region. Can local journalists(I use the term advisedly) not debate and discuss this in their papers and on their radio stations without defaulting to lazy trite uninformed 3rd-hand ****e arguements?

In all the verbiage about this issue from people in the media who know nothing about it I wonder would Sue Nunn or Damien Tiernan know the piece of land to be transferred as mentioned in my post of Dec 2nd? Most of the opposition comes from and came from Kilkenny "city" town. The constant reference to Waterford County Council is simply because Kilkenny only has a county council now. They cannot understand how Waterford could have a city and county council when they do not for that would be to believe that Waterford city was different to their Kilkenny "city".

Before the Waterford city and county amalgamation both Waterford local authorities were independent county councils. The county of the City of Waterford and Waterford county council. That was not the situation in Kilkenny where Kilkenny Borough (like Wexford, Clonmel etc) was a subsidiary part of Kilkenny co co. I am not trying to offend anyone, but also am not sure that trying to inject sensible points into this discussion will ever get anywhere. Kilkenny "city" is against anything which might add to the status of Waterford city. Its sad. Nevertheless, the issue will eventually be solved and the extension will happen. A sensible Minister for the Environment will see to that.

What the actual f*%$? Why the hell are we paying for fire services in South Kilkenny? If they are not going to pay for it end the agreement.

Kilkenny are more than willing to toss our lives aside with things like 24 hr Cardiac care. So lives only matter when it is theirs apparently. Just find it irritating that Kilkenny CC will do everything to block a boundary extension in an area they clearly don’t give a dam about. Then won’t provide services expecting Waterford to do so and not even fully paying for the services.
