There should be an asterisk beside Limerick and Cork. They artificially increased their populations by extending the 'city limits' way way out into the countryside. In reality Galway city has a larger population then Limerick city.
Not really in Cork's case. The boundary extension was long overdue. Ballincollig and especially glanmire and large parts of Douglas were crazily in Cork county council area for years having expanded rapidly with lots of new housing estates where people from Cork city moved to. Furthermore, the industrial area of Little Island remained in the county area when it is clearly so connected to Cork city whereas Blarney which is rural was put into city area. politics and rates had a lot to do with the fighting between city and county councils. Carrigaline could be considered more city than Blarney and is in county. Midleton and Cobh are rapidly expanding commuter towns with rail links to the city. don't know about Limerick. All I know is that they decided to have one council for city and county. Cork luckily avoided that scenario and city was given boundary extension.
Corks makes sense. People don’t live their lives by arbitrary invisible borders, and viewing cork as a city of 120k is very unrepresentative of how it actually functions. Many of the surrounding towns function more as suburbs. There’s roughly 330k living within a 20km radius of the city centre, so the new boundaries are much more accurate
@@tiarnolaI’m actually from Glanmire and it’s really too close to call atm. But in the near enough future (10/20 years give or take) it’ll be remembered as the right call to have transferred us. There are hundreds of new houses, a new hospital, and many more developments being built in Glanmire. 10 years ago we were staunchly county but things have changed rapidly.
@@Jmurky1234 Well yeah, but it must be remembered that Belfast was one of the original great industrial cities of the world. It was like a city in the north of England, the cradle of the Industrial Revolution. There was certainly nothing like it in the rest of Ireland.
Good question. According to the Western Development Commission, "Part of Athlone (Monksland) is in Co. Roscommon (4,595 of 22,869 population total)" westerndevelopment.ie/policy/our-region/roscommon-county-analysis/
County cork has 575.000 people cork city has 400.000 living within 20 mile's of Patrick Street...i am including Middleton and carrigaline and bandon in this statistic.

Yup agreed. Ballincollig, Glanmire, Blarney are clearly not in the city, doesn't make any sense.

I live in Malahide and I had no clue it was bigger than Armagh
The population of Belfast appears to have fallen dramatically since the 1911 census, when it was the biggest city in Ireland by a considerable amount.
Probably because in 1911 the docks were some of the best in Europe.

Good question

Keep it up man🎉🎉🎉
I think people have different ideas of what defines a city or town. I was surprised by how low the populations of some of the towns were.
What about Tallaght? Surely, that makes the list. Maybe Dún Laoghaire too.
It's a part of Dublin.
Newtownabbey isn't a City or a town, it's a borough.
Love this can u do train stations in Ireland that would seem cool
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll keep it in mind for a future video 👍
Ye i like that
Willy 😂 anyway that be cool
Hi Shannon, your idea is on the latest poll and is a very close second :)
I am suprised midleton (máinistir na curann) wasnt on their
Tullamore?
County cork has 575.000 people cork city has 400.000 living within 20 mile's of Patrick Street...i am including Middleton and carrigaline and bandon in this statistic.
Belfast is 345,418. Suburbs around 600k
Yes, that is the population for the Local Government District. 293,298 is the count for the city limits 👍
Reckon Carrigaline is shoving for 25k +
It will be interesting to see in the next census. A lot of the towns seem to have expanded a lot already!
I’m Irish
Lisburn ❤❤❤❤❤
🇬🇧
Connacht has only 2 Population Centres in the Top 50.
Galway City and Sligo Town.
Amazing No town in County Mayo makes the Top 50.
What the population of castlebar
59th largest at 13,054
Ye train staion would be cool
Population of Dublin is 1.25million
Yes, correct. That is including suburbs and BUAs, this list is for the population within city boundaries. 👍
Metro Dublin and surrounding area's❤😊🇮🇪
1st one has a big name 😂
Is armagh city really that small?
It's twice as big as my town so I wouldn't call it small
It's likely to lose its city status when Ireland reunites. Lisburn too.
1st
It’s called Londonderry
👇🏼
Nope
Its called Londonderry/Derry
As soon as Ireland reunites, well change it to Dublinderry if you're not careful.
@@Backpfeifengesicht45😂
Man is top g thanks for using my idea ❤
