Population and Housing

Population and Housing

The 2016 Census recorded a population of 1476 for Caherconlish. The population growth target for the village is 1815 by 2028, as identified in the Draft Limerick Development Plan 2022-2028.  To encourage compact growth and to strengthen the core of Caherconlish, residential development  should be encouraged within the existing settlement on brownfield sites, infill sites and re-use of existing housing stock/vacant buildings instead of greenfield sites. New residential developments should provide for a range of adaptable dwelling sizes, types and densities, should be of a high standard and layout and be underpinned by the principles of placemaking, permeability, connectivity creating a sense of place and a high quality of 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.
