At the expansive end, it has been defined as including all of the traditional County Dublin and three neighbouring counties, while more commonly it is taken as the contiguous metropolitan area of Dublin plus suburban and commuter towns. The area is defined for strategic planning, and, for example, transport, and it is not a formal administrative or political unit.Table of Contents       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Definitions[edit]Planning usage[edit]Dublin Transport Authority[edit]Former boundaries[edit]Garda usage[edit]Population[edit]Historical[edit]Gallery[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Definitions[edit]Planning usage[edit]The 2003 Regional Planning Guidelines referred to the Greater Dublin Area as a planning district separated into a “metropolitan area” and a “hinterland area”.[1]The “metropolitan area” included both suburbs and commuter towns, covering the area from Swords and Malahide in Fingal, to Greystones in County Wicklow in the south, and as far west as Kilcock in County Kildare. This area differs from the Garda “metropolitan region” scope, in that it stretches approximately 20\u00a0km further west.The Dublin Metropolitan Area is now defined as:[2]Local government areaArea within DMADublin cityWhole territoryD\u00fan Laoghaire\u2013RathdownCounty, except for parts of the electoral divisions of Tibradden and Glencullen comprising the townlands of Stackstown, Ticknock, Kilmashogue, Tibradden, Ballybrack, Glendoo, Boranaraltry, Glencullen Mountain and Brockery.South DublinCounty, except for parts of Rathcoole, Saggart, Ballinacorny and Bohernabreen comprising the townlands of Aghfarrell, Allagour, Ballinascorney (Lower and Upper), Ballymaice, Ballymorefi nn, Belgard Deer Park, Brittas (Big and Little), Calliaghstown Upper, Castlekelly, Corrageen, Cunard, Friarstown Lower, Glassamucky, Glassamucky Brakes, Glassamucky Mountain, Glassavullaun, Glenaraneen, Glendoo, Gortlum, Killakee, Lugg, Mountpelier, Mountseskin, Piperstown, Raheen, Slademore, Slievethoul and parts of the townlands of Crockaunadreenagh*, Crooksling*, Cruagh*, Ballymana, Calliaghstown Lower, Coolmine, Corbally, Jamestown (ED Whitechurch), Killinardan, Kiltalown, Lugmore*, Kiltipper, Newtown Upper, Orlagh, Redgap, Saggart, Slade, Tibradden and Woodtown.* These townlands are more than 50% in the hinterland area.FingalElectoral divisions including Airport, Baldoyle, Balgriffin, Blanchardstown (Abbotstown, Blakestown, Coolmine, Corduff, Delwood, Mulhuddart, Roselawn, Tyrrelstown), Castleknock (Knockmaroon, Park), Donabate, Dubber, Howth, Kilsallaghan, Kinsaley, Lucan North, Malahide (East and West), Portmarnock (North and South), Sutton, Swords (Forrest, Glasmore, Lissenhall, Seatown, Village), The Ward, Turnapin.County KildareElectoral divisions of Celbridge, Donaghcumper, Kilcock, Leixlip, Maynooth, Straffan.County MeathElectoral divisions of Dunboyne and Rodanstown.County WicklowElectoral divisions of Bray No.1, Bray No. 2, Bray No. 3, Rathmichael, Delgany, Greystones and the following townlands in the Kilmacanogue electoral division: Corrigoona Commons West, Corrigoona Commons East, Glencormick North, Glencormick South, Kilcroney, Wingfield, Hollybrook, Kilmacanogue North, Kilmacanogue South, and Barchuillia Commons.The Dublin “Hinterland” area is aligned with the Draft National Planning Framework, which defines city regions or urban hinterlands as those EDs where at least 15% of the workforce (Full POWCAR) are employed in the Dublin Metropolitan Area (NTA boundary).Dublin Transport Authority[edit]At the broader end of definitions, the Dublin Transport Authority Act 2008 defines the Greater Dublin Area as including the counties of Dublin (Dublin City, South Dublin, D\u00fan Laoghaire\u2013Rathdown and Fingal), Meath, Kildare, and Wicklow; as of 2022, its estimated population is 2,073,459.[3]Former boundaries[edit]The urban part of Dublin and surrounding areas has been defined by various statutory instruments, mainly those referring to the Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na and Courts of the Republic of Ireland. The city, three other counties within the traditional County Dublin, and three neighbouring counties, were grouped together in the order creating the Dublin Transportation Office, giving functions and representations to the office in this area, although not using the term.[4] The office was purely advisory and had no executive powers. The term was later defined in section 3 of the Dublin Transport Authority Act 2008.[3] On 1 December 2009 the DTO became the National Transport Authority, with a remit expanding beyond the Greater Dublin Area.[5]Garda usage[edit]The Garda used the term the Dublin Metropolitan Region (DMR) which was formerly the jurisdiction, within the eastern part of Ireland, of the Dublin Metropolitan Police, which was subsequently merged into the Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na, the national police force of Ireland. The term originated from the Police Forces Amalgamation Act 1925, which amalgamated the Dublin Metropolitan Police and Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na as one national police force.[6]This jurisdiction covered parts of the old County Dublin (except the northern part around Swords) as well as the County Kildare town of Leixlip and the County Wicklow towns of Bray, Greystones and Enniskerry. Swords was covered by the Meath Garda Division. In this way, it differed from the usual definition of County Dublin and did not even conform to the looser definition of the Greater Dublin Area.The definition no longer applies, as during 2008 the Garda divisions were realigned along Regional and county boundaries. As of 2009, the Dublin Metropolitan Region is co-extensive with the combined area of the city of Dublin, and the counties of D\u00fan Laoghaire\u2013Rathdown, Fingal and South Dublin. Leixlip was moved to the County Kildare Division and became the district headquarters for the new Leixlip District.[7]Bray moved into the new County Wicklow Division and became district headquarters for the Bray District.[8]Population[edit]  Satellite view of part of the Greater Dublin area The population of the Dublin City and County (Dublin City, Fingal, South Dublin and D\u00fan Laoghaire\u2013Rathdown) and Outer Greater Dublin (Meath, Kildare and Wicklow) as of the 2022 census was 2,073,459 persons. This equates to 40.5% of Ireland’s population. Estimates published by the Central Statistics Office suggest that the population will reach 2.4 million by 2026.[9] The figures are based on a regional breakdown of previously published national population projections and assume that current demographic trends will continue.The CSO also uses the narrower definition which comprises Dublin City and its suburbs within the 3 local Dublin authorities.[10] The boundaries for suburbs are not legally defined, but drawn and revised by the CSO in accordance with United Nations recommendations.[11] The population distribution of the Greater Dublin Area as of the 2011, 2016 and 2022 censuses was as follows:[12][13]Population of the Greater Dublin Areaper the 2011,2016 and 2022 national censusesAdministrative divisionPopulationPopulation increase2016 to 2022201120162022Greater Dublin AreaDublin RegionDublin City527,612553,165588,23335,068D\u00fan Laoghaire\u2013Rathdown206,261217,274233,45716,183Fingal273,991296,214329,21833,004South Dublin265,205278,749299,79321,044County Dublin1,273,0691,345,4021,450,701105,299County Meath184,135194,942220,29625,252County Kildare210,312222,130246,97724,473County Wicklow136,640142,332155,48513,060Meath, Kildare, Wicklow531,087559,404622,75863,354Greater Dublin Area1,804,1561,904,8062,073,459168,653Historical[edit]Population of the Greater Dublin Area, 1841\u20132022[14]Census yearPopulationPopulation change since previous censusPercentage of population of Ireland1841683,232?10.5%1851740,597 57,365in 10 years 14.5%1861698,050 -42,547in 10 years 15.9%1871663,131 -34,919in 10 years 16.4%1881652,569 -10,562in 10 years 16.9%1891628,539 -24,030in 10 years 18.1%1901640,093 11,554in 10 years 19.9%1911669,625 29,532in 10 years 21.3%1926685,242 15,617in 15 years 23.1%1936774,791 89,549in 10 years 26.1%1946827,725 52,934in 10 years 28.0%1961906,347 78,622in 15 years 32.2%19711,062,220 155,873in 10 years 35.7%19811,290,154 227,934in 10 years 37.5%19861,336,119 45,965in 5 years 37.8%19911,350,595 14,476in 5 years 38.3%19961,405,671 55,076in 5 years 38.8%20021,535,446 129,775in 6 years 39.2%20061,662,536 127,090in 4 years 39.2%20111,801,040 138,504in 5 years 39.3%20161,904,806 103,766in 5 years 40.0%20222,073,459 168,653in 6 yearsGallery[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]^ “Draft Regional Report \u2013 Greater Dublin Area” (PDF).
