There is absolutely no need for this page to contain a "list of towns in Cork". There are already several such lists, namely: List_of_towns_in_the_Republic_of_Ireland/2006_Census_Records (which can be sorted by county), and List of census towns in the Republic of Ireland (which has a County Cork section). If it is deemed neccesary that there be a "stand alone" List of towns and villages in County Cork, then it can be created be a separate page. It should not be added as an exhaustive sub-section that "takes over" the existing article here. Guliolopez ( talk) 11:58, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
And why are Carrigaline, Cobh, Mallow, etc called "Cities" in the list?

My family is looking for info concerning my Pa's background. We were told he came from an area where goats were plentiful and that during his time the area had a rough reputation... Is it County Cork? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.218.136.134 ( talk) 12:50, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
"In more recent times, the name has referred to the prominent role Cork played in the Irish War of Independence (1919–1921) and its position as an anti-treaty stronghold during the Irish Civil War (1922–23). And more recently in the war of independence (1919–1921) it was the scene for most of the fighting."
Something is askew here, as 1919-21 is not more recent than 1922-23. So what was the author of the last sentence referring to? AmirOnWiki ( talk) 14:01, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
The statement in the new lead which was inserted into the county articles is completely misleading; County Cork is one of the 32 traditional counties - yes. But the traditional county is not co-locational with modern Cork County Council. Sarah777 ( talk) 12:30, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
An IP user has inserted the name of a particular court official - the County Registrar - in this article and in several other county articles. I think it is completely inappropriate in an encyclopaedia article on the county to name individual court officials - what next, name every current clerk in the county council, principals of schools, district judges...? The same user (but using a different IP address) then reverted my edit, rather than following WP:BRD. Brocach ( talk) 11:32, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
Now that I've found the Talk page under my own initiative and without help I can give my rationale.
From the artilce, 'Mayo County Council':
The county administration is headed by a
County Manager, Peter Hynes.
[1]
A County Manager in Ireland is notable for the power they weild as per the County Management Act, 1940 Section 17 or said act states: "Every county manager shall exercise, for the several elective bodies for which he is the manager, the executive functions of such elective bodies respectively and, in particular, all powers, functions, and duties of any such elective body in relation to the officers and servants of such body and the control, supervision, service, remuneration, privileges, and superannuation of such officers and servants See here: http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1940/en/act/pub/0012/print.html#sec17
Section 18 states: "Any power vested, by virtue of an enactment in force at the passing of this Act, in the council of a county or in an elective body to delegate to a committee appointed by such council or elective body any power, function, or duty which is an executive function of such council or elective body (as the case may be) shall, after the commencement of this Act, be exercisable only by the county manager for the county of such council or by the manager for such elective body (as the case may be) but subject in every case to the consent of the Minister." See here: http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1940/en/act/pub/0012/print.html#sec18
The role is notable by it's undermining of c\local/municipal democracy as explitcitly stated here: http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1940/en/act/pub/0012/print.html#sec19
There is certainly a point to mentioning and identifying a Ministerially appointed public servant with such extensive executie powers. And I look forward to reading the results of others research.

Is that actually Cork County's coat of arms, or just the coat of arms of the county's council? I'd imagine there is either a historical coat of arms, or the County Council one isn't actually the coat of the County??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xx78900 ( talk • contribs) 14:04, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
