County Cork ((アイルランド語:Contae Chorcaí)) is the largest and southernmost county in Ireland. Located in the province of Munster, it is named after the city of Cork (). Cork County Council is the local authority for the county. Its largest towns are Cork city, Ballincollig, Midleton and Carrigaline. In 2011, the county's population was 518,128, making it the second most populous of the Republic of Ireland counties.〔(Actual and percentage change in population 2006 and 2011 by Province county or city, Year, Statistic and Sex ) Central Statistics Office. Retrieved: 25 February 2013.〕 ==Local government and political subdivisions== There are two local authorities whose remit collectively encompasses the geographic area of the county and city of Cork. The county, excluding Cork city, is administered by Cork County Council, while the city is administered separately by Cork City Council. Both city and county are part of the South-West Region. For standardized European statistical purposes both Cork County Council and Cork City Council rank equally as first-level local administrative units of the NUTS 3 South-West Region. There are 34 such LAU 1 entities in the Republic of Ireland. Each local authority is responsible for certain local services within its jurisdiction, such as sanitation, planning and development, libraries, the collection of motor taxation, local roads and social housing. For elections to Dáil Éireann, the county is divided into five constituencies—Cork East, Cork North–Central, Cork North–West, Cork South–Central and Cork South–West. Together they return 19 deputies (TDs) to the Dáil. The county is part of the South constituency for the purposes of European elections. For purposes other than local government, such as the formation of sporting teams, the term "County Cork" is often taken to include both city and county. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「County Cork」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
