Talk:Greater Cork

[edit] Merge proposal

Because "Greater Cork" and "Metropolitan Cork" are defined by the same statutory instruments, deal with also exactly the same issues (planning, transport, etc), and because there is considerable redundancy between the two existing articles, they should probably be merged. Beyond this, both terms are not used ANYWHERE outside CASP. Either these two should be merged under "Greater Cork" (as the super set), or a "Cork extra-urban areas" article, or -possibly- under a "CASP" article! Thoughts?

Completely agree with the proposal to merge. There is too much overlap. Metropolitan Cork is used outside the CASP. It was used in supporting documentation for the 2002 census, but not the census itself. The CSO said it was going to be put into the 2006 census as an entity in its own right, but that never happenedIrlchrism (talk) 09:34, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

The phrase "Cork Metropolitan Area " is used by the Cork Chamber of Commerce. The Irish census figures only refer to a narrowly defined central urban core whereas the " metro" area far better reflects the reality of modern Cork City.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dunquin (talk • contribs) 17:46, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
