Council Achievements 2014-2019 Cork City Council Boundary Extension
Following the publication of the MacK innon Report in April 2017, the new boundary of Cork City Council’s administrative area was agreed in December 2017. The boundary extension of 2019 was the biggest change to Cork City since 1965. It saw the population of the City increase by 85,000 people, the geographical area increase by fivefold, 550kms of roads transfer to the city and 200 staff transfer from the County to the City Council. The Transition Directorate was formed in June 2018 to guide, manage, monitor and deliver the expansion of Cork City Council’s administrative area. The Transition Team was tasked with setting the strategic direction of the project as well as supporting the individual Directorates to deliver specific aspects of the transition project. In order to deliver the change required to govern this new expanded City administrative area two distinct but related bodies of work were identified: • Reorganise Cork City Council from a functional based organisation • Integrate the services being provided in the transfer area, including the associated staff and financial resources, into the City Council

Between June 2018 and May 2019, the Transition Team organised approximately 300 meetings, both at sub- group and Director (D2D) level. These meetings were critical in identifying the services which were being provided in the transfer area, allowing Cork City Council to put arrangements in place for a seamless transfer of services in May 2019.
