Cobh, Mallow, and Midleton Now Officially Large Towns
April 26th, 2007
RTE notes that new Census of Population figures published today have ordained six new large towns. Any Cork people who were confused last year by the city’s official decrease in population will not be surprised by the fact that three of the “new major towns” are within 25mins drive from Cork City.
By now, most people acknowledge that the population figure associated with the city of Cork is very misleading, since the official boundry of the city is too tight. With no room for expansion in the city centre, the inner suburbs have been packed in recent years, and now the CSO acknowledges the same trend slightly further afield. What perks will this glorious new title bring to Cobh, Mallow, and Midleton? I don’t know, but word on the street is that the locals are expecting a shipment of white runners and Nissan Micra body kits.
