Boundary review

edit

Following the recommendations of the 2018 LEA boundary review committee, the boundaries in South Dublin were altered, as two of the LEAs at the 2014 South Dublin County Council election exceeded the upper limit of 7 councillors set by the 2018 Committee. Changes were also made to reflect population shifts revealed in the 2016 census.[1][2]
