This report was used to inform the development of the Kildare Local Economic and Community Plan 2016-2021 (LECP). The following presents one of six reports which updates the original baseline study. It is based on Census 2016 data and other relevant data sets and has also been designed to allow easy comparison with key regional evidence baselines produced by AIRO on behalf of the Eastern and Midland Regional Assembly (see EMRA RSES). Whilst these reports focus on the key economic, community and environmental indicators and provide a certain amount of context relating to each indicator, it is highly recommended that it is not used in isolation to the other data initiatives that Kildare County Council have developed with its research part- ner, AIRO at Maynooth University. AIRO hosts a detailed census GIS mapping module for Kildare Local Authorities on its website and contains hundreds of statistical variables at the Electoral Division (ED) and Small Area (SA) level. All data and mapping results are also available through the Kildare DataHub via www.kildarelcdc.ie. This section explores the population profile of Kildare, highlighting its dynamic nature and outlines some of its key characteristics. The following Census based indicators are used to provide an in depth population profile of the county: Total Population, Population Change 2011 to 2016 & 2006 to 2016, Population Density, Age Cohorts and Dependency Rates, Nationality & Ethnicity and the Pobal HP Deprivation Index. Data in this report is presented across a range of comparative geographies, from National level through to Small Area (neighbourhood). For more details on the comparative geographies used in this report see Appendix 1 for details. Kildare is one of the most populated counties in the State with a population recorded at 222,504 in the 2016 Census. It has the fifth highest population of all local authorities in Ireland. Only Dublin City, Cork County, Fingal and South Dublin have larger populations. It is notable also that Kildare has a larger population than other familiar urban centres such as Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown and Galway, Limerick and Waterford City and County. Kildare has experienced a major and consistent expansion of its pop- ulation in recent years. This expansion is the result of both a high birth rate and high levels of inward migration into the county. In the five years since Census 2011, population growth has occurred in 76 of the 89 Kildare Electoral Divisions. The majority of this population growth occurred in the main commuter towns. Key Facts 1. Kildare is a significant population base within the State.Census 2016 outlines that the total population within Kildare was 222,504. This represents 4.7% of the State total (4.76 million), 9.5% of the Eastern & Midlands Regional Assembly (2.32 million) and 32.3% of the Eastern Strategic Planning Area (SPA) (688,857). Kildare, as a county, has the fifth highest population in the State with only Dublin City, Cork County, Fingal and South Dublin with higher populations. 2. Kildare has a rapidly growing population. Over a 20 year period (1996 to 2016), Kildare experienced a 64.8% (+87,512) increase in its population base - the second highest rate in the State. The more recent growth rate (2006 to 2016) of 19.4% is the fourth highest in the State. This is ex- plained by high levels of natural increase (birth rate) and a strong performance in estimated net migra- tion. In comparison, growth rates between 2011 and 2016 has been much slower for all areas across the country. During this period, Kildare increased its population by 5.8% - the third highest rate of all local authorities. 4 Kildare_CensusProfile_Demographics_print.indd 4 01/06/2018 12:12:28 Kildare 2016 Census Profile 3. Kildare has the highest rate of young people aged 0 to 24 years in the State. According to the 2016 Census, the population aged 0 to 24 years residing in Kildare was 81,517 and represents 36.6% of the total population - the highest rate in the State. 4. Kildare has high levels of child and youth dependency. Over 28% of Kildare’s population is aged ‘0-18’ years. - the 3rd highest rate of all local authorities in Ireland. Kildare’s child and youth dependent cohort is the 6th highest in the State, meaning those of working age have a relatively greater burden in supporting this young population. 5. Demand for child and youth services is building and set to grow. Given the size and sig- nificance of Kildare’s existing population cohorts in the 0-4, 5-12 and 13-17 age ranges, it is evi- dent that the profile of the county’s population has not yet peaked, and that there is likely to be an increased demand for children’s and young people’s services over the next decade. For instance, the number of sec- ondary school population (13-17 years) residing in Kildare has increased by 17.5% in the last five years. 6. Kildare has a geographically varied population density. Kildare, as a county, is the 8th most densely populated county in the State with a density figure of 131.3 persons per square km. How- ever, approximately 72% of the county’s population live on 5% of the county’s total land area, with the northeast of the county having by far the highest population densities. For instance, the Leixlip/ Celbridge Municipal District (MD) has a density figure of 702.9 persons per square km - more than four times as densely populated than all other MDs. 7. The ‘65 and over’ age cohort has rapidly increased in Kildare. The ‘65 and over’ age cohort now represents 9.9% of the total population living in the county - the 2nd lowest rate in the State. Since 2011 this cohort has increased by 32% and was one of the highest rates of increase in the State. As such, this is a major increase in the older population across the county and will result in an increased demand on older persons services. 8. Polish nationals are by far the largest non-Irish community living in Kildare. Just under 10.6% or 23,279 of the population residing in county Kildare are non-Irish nationals. This is the 13th highest rate in the State. In general, non-Irish residents live in the main urban centres. Polish nationals make up the largest proportion of non-nationals in Kildare, representing 30% of all non-nationals or 3.3% of the total population - the 5th highest rate in the State. 9. Kildare has lower than national and regional rates of Travellers. There are 739 Travellers living in Kildare, with an observable spatial pattern. Most Travellers live in urban areas, with the highest rates in the towns of Newbridge and Athy. According to Census 2016, the number of Trav- ellers residing in Kildare has reduced by 15% from a total of 874 in 2011. 10. Kildare has the 5th highest number of Lone Parent families (with children under 15) in the State. There are 4,795 lone parent families residing in Kildare. This figure represents 16.9% of all families with children under 15 in Kildare, the 8th lowest rate in the State. 11. Deprivation levels have remained stable in Kildare between 2011-2016. Kildare is the fifth most affluent local authority in the country (relative deprivation) as it was in 2011 although dropping from third position in 2006. The county experienced the third highest rate of increases in affluence levels nationally (+2.74) between 2011-2016. Most deprivation is clustered in the east and south of the county with the most disadvantaged areas within Athy. 5 Kildare_CensusProfile_Demographics_print.indd 5 01/06/2018

  • Portfolio of Straffan
    Straffan Portfolio ENTENTE FLORALE 2016 Straffan Straffan village is situated in north east Kildare at a particularly low lying point of the Liffey Valley, along the River Liffey and river Morrell. The village name is the anglicised form of the original Irish, Teach Srafáin, which translates as “Church of St. Srafán”, a saint of the early Irish church who resided in the area at the end of the 7th century. The second Irish name of the town, Cluaníní, means “little meadows.” The current form of the village is linked to the Anglo-Norman invasion of the 12th century. Norman leader, Strongbow, granted Straffan to Maurice Fitzgerald, ancestor of the Earls of Desmond and of Kildare. A fortress and stronghold was built in conjunction with the granting of land, as was common practice at the time. Today, Straffan village has a population of over 600 people, with an additional 1700 inhabitants living in the surrounding hinterland. Only 30km from Dublin, Straffan is situated close to the larger towns of Celbridge, Maynooth, Clane and Naas. On the roads entering Straffan you are met with hedgerows, tree lined corridors or stone walls before arriving in a beautifully maintained, village, centred on a pair of crossroads, on which are situated Roman Catholic and Church of Ireland churches. 13th century Barberstown Castle and The K Club, on the grounds of Straffan estate are two luxury accommodation options in the village with historical significance. In recent years, the K Club has also become synonymous with golf in Ireland, hosting the 2006 Ryder Cup, the European Open from 1991 – 2007 and the Irish Open in May 2016.

  • Social Housing Construction Projects Status Report Q3 2019
    Social Housing Construction Projects Status Report Q3 2019 December 2019 Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness Quarter 3 of 2019: Social Housing Construction Status Report Rebuilding Ireland: Social Housing Targets Under Rebuilding Ireland, the Government has committed more than €6 billion to support the accelerated delivery of over 138,000 additional social housing homes to be delivered by end 2021. This will include 83,760 HAP homes, 3,800 RAS homes and over 50,000 new homes, broken down as follows: Build: 33,617; Acquisition: 6,830; Leasing: 10,036. It should be noted that, in the context of the review of Rebuilding Ireland and the refocussing of the social housing delivery programme to direct build, the number of newly constructed and built homes to be delivered by 2021 has increased significantly with overall delivery increasing from 47,000 new homes to over 50,000. This has also resulted in the rebalancing of delivery under the construction programme from 26,000 to 33,617 with acquisition targets moving from 11,000 to 6,830. It is positive to see in the latest Construction Status Report that 6,499 social homes are currently onsite. The delivery of these homes along with the additional 8,050 homes in the pipeline will substantially aid the continued reduction in the number of households on social housing waiting lists. These numbers continue to decline with a 5% reduction of households on the waiting lists between 2018 and 2019 and a 25% reduction since 2016. This progress has been possible due to the strong delivery under Rebuilding Ireland with 90,011 households supported up to end of Q3 2019 since Rebuilding Ireland in 2016.
