The 1955 extension was done due to Cork Corporation having built/planning to build housing outside its borders, 1965 was basically "ok yeah the suburbs are way larger now", 2019 was partly that too but also a counter to a proposed merger of the city and county councils

Cork, naturally, is the only city generous enough to have digitised its own historical boundaries online. It's a bit messy but interesting to look at nonetheless

The state in Taiwan calls itself ‘the Republic of China’ and claims all of mainland China as its territory, regarding themselves as its rightful government.

To everyone campaigning for Ireland to separate from Great Britain (a united Ireland): Are you pro or against Taiwan independence from China? The shortest gap between GB & Ireland is ~19–20 km. The Taiwan Strait is on average 180 km. If self-determination applies to one island nation, why not the other?
