To whom it may concern,

I would like my observations to be considered in the process, these are as follows,

i) County Clare is proud to be in the current Ireland South Constituency. 

ii) County Clare is being well represented by MEP’s Seán Kelly, Deirdre Clune, Billy Kelleher, Grace Sullivan and Mick Wallace

iii) Geographically and historically County Clare has been part of Munster, or Ireland South for the majority of our history, we wish that this remains so.

iv) It is very important that Clare remains aligned to Limerick and Tipperary as part of the Mid-West region.

v) I’d like that County Clare remains part of the Southern Regional Assembly, it’s important that we remain part of Ireland South for this to work effectively both ways. 

vi) To effectively be in a position to apply for E R.D.F. funding County Clare should remain in Ireland South.

Yours Sincerely,

Cllr. Paul Murphy
