Dublin 15 now officially comprises over 100,000 residents according to preliminary results from the 2011 Census of Population.
An analysis of the initial results prepared by Fingal Development Board shows that the population of Blanchardstown grew by 10% since the last census and now stands at 100,894 people making it the biggest single suburb in the Greater Dublin Area and larger than most other cities and towns in the state.
The county population of Fingal has now reached 273,051, an additional 33,059 people since the 2006 Census. This figure represents an increase of 13.8% - almost double the national growth rate of 8.1%.

With fewer resources available to the council, it requires a smarter and targeted approach to addressing the needs.”
