Place & story
Offaly and Tipperary
The Constituency Commission’s 2012 report included Ballingarry electoral division, in the former Borrisokane Rural District, among the North Tipperary areas proposed for an Offaly constituency. Its 2017 report recommended transferring that group from the existing Offaly constituency to Tipperary. These documents concern parliamentary representation across county boundaries. The recommendations did not propose moving Ballingarry out of County Tipperary. [2] [3]
