This report was used to inform the develop- ment 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 partner, AIRO at Maynooth University. AIRO hosts a detailed census GIS mapping module for Kildare Local Authority on its website that 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 employment profile of Kildare, and focuses on aspects of current employ- ment, industry and occupations. The initial section of this report looks at the overall levels of employ- ment within the Kildare population followed by a detailed profile of the industrial sectors and occupa- tional groups of those at work or unemployed. 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. Key Facts 1. The labour force participation rate in Kildare is 64.1%, the fourth highest rate in the country. However, there is significant spread around this figure at throughout the county – the highest labour force participation rate in the county is Sallins (74.5%) and the lowest is Suncroft (52.3%). 2. 88.6% of the labour force are 'At Work' in Kildare. This is the fifth highest rate in the country and is mirrored by low unemployment rates (see below). There is, however, an uneven distribution of the labour force 'At Work' throughout Kildare with a significant variance between the highest and lowest rates in the county. The highest rate recorded is found in Straffan (95.8%) and the lowest in Athy (73.4%). 3. In 2016, the unemployment rate in Kildare was 11.4% (12,297 persons out of a labour force of 108,244). The national average unemployment rate was 12.9%. The distribution of unemployment throughout Kildare is uneven with the lowest rate recorded in Straffan (4.2%), while two areas had an unemployment rate of 20% or greater - Athy (26.6%) and Derrinturn (21.9%). 4. In April 2018, 9,389 Kildare residents were recorded on the Live Register. Of this total 11% (1,018) were under 25 years of age. In Athy and Newbridge, the equivalent rate of unemployment for those under 25 is 12%. This rates is higher than the Kildare (11%) average and marginally lower than the national average of 12.6%. 5. In 2015 there were 10,314 active enterprises in Kildare. Of these, only 15 enterprises (0.1%) employed more than 250 persons. A total of 9,598 (93.1%) enterprises employed less than 10 peo- ple. This figure is marginally higher than the State average of 92.2%. 4 Kildare_CensusProfile_EmploymentOccupationIndustry_print.indd 4 01/06/2018 12:29:10 Kildare 2016 Census Profile 6. The 15 largest firms employed 13,792 persons (26.7%) of the total Kildare workforce. The 9,598 smallest firms employed 16,027 persons (31.1%). 7. Kildare recorded the highest rate of employment supported by foreign owned (FDI) com- panies. In 2016, 18.6% or 10,377 of total employment in the Kildare enterprise sector was in for- eign owned companies. This is the highest rate in the country followed by Cork (18%) and Galway (17.6%). 8. ‘Commerce and Trade’ (26.6%) and ‘Professional Services’ (22.8%) are the dominant indus- tries involving Kildare residents. Combined, these sectors employ almost 50% (47,443) of all workers (95,947) resident in Kildare. 9. Kildare has the 2nd highest rate of Managers, directors and senior officials (9%) and the 3rd highest rate of Associate professional and technical occupations (13.1%). Both rates exceed the national average for each occupational group by a considerable margin and are reflective of a well educated and highly skilled workforce. 5 Kildare_CensusProfile_EmploymentOccupationIndustry_print.indd 5 01/06/2018 12:29:10 Kildare 2016 Census Profile 6 Kildare_CensusProfile_EmploymentOccupationIndustry_print.indd 6 01/06/2018 12:29:10 Kildare 2016 Census Profile CENSUS 2016 PROFILE – EMPLOYMENT 7 Kildare_CensusProfile_EmploymentOccupationIndustry_print.indd 7 01/06/2018 12:29:10 Kildare 2016 Census Profile Indicator 1: Summary - Labour Force and Employment, 2016 100% Kildare State 88.6% 90% 87.1% 80% 70% 64% 61% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 12.9% 11.4% 10% 0% 2016 2016 2016 Labour Force PR LF At Work LF Unemployed Figure 1: Employment Summary, 2016 (Source: CSO & AIRO) Census 2016 enables us to analyse the economic status of all people who are aged 15 and over who are both in and outside of the labour force. The labour force is comprised of all persons at work, looking for their first job or unem- ployed, while students, homemakers, retired persons and those unable to work are categorised as being not in the labour force. This section will focus on the labour force - overall labour force participation rate, those ‘At Work’ and those ‘Unemployed’ (including those looking for their first job). The percentage of people aged 15 and over who participate in the labour force - as opposed to having another status such as student, retired or homemaker - is known as the labour force participation rate. It is measured as the num- ber in the labour force (at work or unemployed) expressed as a percentage of the total population aged 15 and over. According to Census 2016, the total labour force residing in Kildare was 108,244 which is equivalent to 64.1% (Labour Force Participation Rate) of the total population 15+ in the county - this is the 4th highest rate in the State. Between 2011 and 2016 the labour force in Kildare also increased by additional 3.8% (+4,018). This rate of increase was marginally above the State average of 3.2%. The graphic above details the Labour Force Participation rate in Kildare and the State and then provides detail on its constituent parts - those 'At Work' and those 'Unemployed'. As of 2016, Kildare had an ‘At Work’ rate of 88.6% and an ‘Unemployment’ rate of 11.4%. The graphics and maps on the following pages provide more detail on each of these variables and highlights the different trends in place within and across Kildare. Note: The official State labour force and unemployment estimates are based on the Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS). The census results in this report differ for methodological reasons from these official estimates. The chief difference resulting from this is that the Census records an unemployment rate (based on Principal Economic Status) of 12.9% for the State, compared with the official rate (based on ILO criteria) of 8.6% for the State. Notwith- standing these differences, the main strength of the census-based data on employment and unemployment is the provision of data for small geographic areas - which enables the developments and geographical hierarchy graphics on the following pages.

  • 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.

PROSPEROUS HERITAGE FESTIVAL 25–27 MAY: RE-ENACTMENT of the BATTLE of PROSPEROUS 1798 with LORD EDWARD’S OWN and FRIENDS. MESSAGE from the CHAIR The County Kildare Decade of Commemorations Committee, established by Kildare County Council in 2015, sought new and interesting ways to celebrate the centenary of the 1916 Rising. The Committee’s work continues as we move toward the anniversaries of the War of Independence, the Civil War and the birth of the Irish state. While recognising that possible difficulties and challenges lie ahead, we also re-iterate the positive approach of the National Expert Advisory Group and its position that commemorations should be inclusive, relevant and offer an objective exploration of our history. The Committee remains committed to developing a strategy of commemoration and coordinating events in line with the national programme 2018–2023. The success of its 2016 Commemorative Programme can be held up as a template of how the committee will proceed. Cllr. Pádraig McEvoy Chair of the Co. Kildare Decade of Commemorations Committee Kildare Decade of Commemorations Committee — Mission Statement The aim of the programme is to establish the most appropriate way in which to mark the centenaries within the county. The nature of the programme is expansive, delivering a series of commemorative events, school programmes, publications, etc., but with the unique intention of creating a legacy of research and cultural and artistic material for future generations.

  • Arthur's Way Heritage Trail
    HERITAGE TRAIL Arthur’s Way is a heritage trail across northeast County Kildare that follows in the footsteps of Arthur Guinness. In just 16 km, it links many of the historic sites associated with Ireland’s most famous brewers – the Guinness family. Visitors are invited to explore Celbridge - where Arthur spent his childhood, Leixlip - the site of his first brewery and Oughterard graveyard - Arthur’s final resting place near his ancestral home. The trail rises gently from the confluence of the Liffey and Rye rivers at Leixlip to the Palladian Castletown House estate and onto Celbridge. It then departs the Liffey Valley to join the Grand Canal at Hazelhatch. The grassy towpaths guide visitors past beautiful flora and fauna and the enchanting Lyons Estate. At Ardclough, the route finally turns for Oughterard which offers spectacular views over Kildare, Dublin and the Province of Leinster. R o yaal l C a MAAYNOOTHYNOOTH nnala l R .
