Population Growth in Rural Areas

Preliminary Census 2022 results were published yesterday and show that the areas of Derrinturn, Allenwood, Robertstown and Coill Dubh, had the most growth in the Clane Local Electoral Area.

This is very interesting as the settlement hierarchy in our county development plan, which defines the vision for how the county should grow and develop, aims to prioritise the larger settlements for more growth.

It’s good that we find out now that this didn’t happen as planned, as we are currently preparing the next county development plan.
