Population and Housing

The population of the Adare was 1129 in the 2016 Census. The population growth target for the   village is a population of  1,455 people  by 2028 as set out in the Limerick Development Plan 2022—2028.  To encourage compact growth and to strengthen the core of Adare, residential development should be encouraged within the existing settlement, this will include reuse of existing building stock, brownfield and infill sites as well as greenfield sites. New residential areas should be connected, attractive and well designed with a range of adaptable   dwelling types and densities, creating a sense of place and a high quality public realm. Continued population growth will create pressure on the housing market and on certain services and infrastructure, including childcare, schools, transport, water, wastewater, recreation and amenity.
