List of cities, boroughs and towns in the Republic of Ireland
The following table and map show all the municipal areas in Ireland, that is all areas named in the Local Government Act 2001 as Cities, Boroughs, or Towns. The population figures are from the Central Statistics Office's report of the 2011 census.
When the Local Government Reform Act 2014 becomes law, Limerick and Waterford city councils will be merged with the corresponding county councils, while all borough and town councils will be superseded by new "municipal districts" covering both urban and rural areas within counties.[1][2] However, the "city" and "borough" labels would be transferred to the municipal district containing the relevant city or borough.[3][4]
Explanation of table
Column name | Meaning | Explanation | Sources | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Name(s) | Names of the town | The first name listed is the commonest English name, and links to the relevant article. Alternative names are listed in parentheses. If the official name used in census reports is not the linked name, it is in italics. Only the name of the municipality is given, not that of any suburban areas (e.g. Tallaght is not named separately from Dublin). | [5] | ||||||||
Council | Type of municipal council | The Local Government Act 2001 defines three types of municipal council, namely "City", "Borough", and "Town". The "Town council" label replaced the earlier "Urban district council" and "Town commissioners", but did not abolish the distinction in their respective powers. Values listed in this column `are as follows:
|
[6][7][8] | ||||||||
Core County | Core county for town | County is that in which the municipal area is entirely located. In the case of cities, the namesake county is considered the core county even though the city is administratively separate from it. | [9] | ||||||||
Other Counties | Other counties | For towns whose suburbs/environs span a county boundary, any county other than the core county. | [9][10] | ||||||||
2006 Tot | Total population in 2006 | Sum of the municipal population and the suburban population. | [9] | ||||||||
2011 Tot | Total population in 2011. | Sum of the municipal population and the suburban population. | [9] | ||||||||
% change Tot | Change in total population | As a percentage of 2006 population. | Calculated | ||||||||
Tot area | Total area of the town | 2011 area in square kilometres (km²). Only for towns with a total population of at least 1,500. | [11] | ||||||||
Tot dens | Population density of total area | Persons per km². Based on 2011 total area and population. | Calculated | ||||||||
2006 Mun | Population of the municipal area in 2006 | Population within the 2006 municipal area. | [9] | ||||||||
2011 Mun | Population of the municipal area in 2011 | Population within the 2011 municipal area. | [9] | ||||||||
% change Mun | Change in population of the municipal area. | As a percentage of 2006 population. Where the municipal area changed in the interim, this is noted. | Calculated. For changed areas:[12] | ||||||||
Mun area | Municipal area of the town | Area within the legally defined municipal boundary in 2011. Where this had increased since 2006, this is noted. | [13] For changed areas:[12] | ||||||||
Mun dens | Population density of municipal area | Persons per km². Based on 2011 municipal area and population. | Calculated | ||||||||
2009 elect | Electorate for the 2009 local elections. | The Local Government Act, 1994 extended the boundaries of some towns for electoral purposes only.[14] That is, people living outside the municipal area were entitled to vote for the town council even though their residence was outside its jurisdiction. In a few cases, the municipal boundary of the town was subsequently extended to remove this anomaly.[12][15] The remaining cases are marked by an asterisk in this column. Where the municipal area changed between the 2006 census and the 2009 election, this is noted. (No municipal area changed between the 2009 election and the 2011 census.[12]) | [14][16] | ||||||||
2006 Sub | Population of the suburbs/environs in 2006 | Called "Suburbs" for cities and "Environs" for boroughs and towns. Defined as "the continuation of a distinct population cluster outside its legally defined boundary in which no occupied dwelling is more than 200 metres distant from the nearest occupied dwelling. In applying the 200-metre criterion, industrial, commercial and recreational buildings and facilities are not regarded as breaking the continuity of a built-up area. New suburbs or environs are defined only where there are at least twenty occupied dwellings outside the legal boundary within the new limit."[17] | [9] | ||||||||
2011 Sub | Population of the suburbs/environs in 2011 | The 2006 definition was changed by reducing the limit from 200 metres to 100.[17] | [9] |

Those towns which had their boundaries extended, for electoral purposes only, in 1994, represent an anomaly, as residents of the environs of a town may help elect the town council but do not fall within the functional area of the council. A number of these towns’ boundaries have been altered since 1994, however in the majority of cases the anomaly continues to exist. The correction of this anomaly would appear to be in order.
