Cork City Council is concerned that the uncertain duration and high cost of paying compensation to its sister local authority, Cork County Council, for boundary changes could place major regeneration projects for the city in jeopardy.
Chief executive Valerie O’Sullivan has raised questions about the council’s ability to finance such projects due to the burden of the annual compensation payments, which she claimed was “unsustainable”.
