Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2000 / February 04 2000: Call for six towns to be turned into cities

According to Fine Gael's Public Enterprise spokesman, six towns need to be redesignated as cities by 2010 and 12 provincial towns with populations of up to 10,000 to be designated large towns for proper planning and development. The towns becoming cities would have to have all the necessary infrastructure including third-level colleges and rail links. The local authorities could then decide which part of each city should be developed and how all the services would be put together in tandem.
