    1 Headline Profile Fingal County Council Mission Statement: ‘To be the place of choice to live, work, visit and to do business in Ireland. This is reflected through a wide range of strategic assets supporting vibrant communities, prosperous businesses and tourism.’

    1.1 Preamble The administrative area of Fingal covers 450 square kilometres (173 square miles) and stretches from the River Liffey and the Dublin City boundary in the south to the Meath boundary north of Balbriggan, and from the coast in the east to the Meath and Kildare boundaries in the west. Map 1 – Fingal Administrative Area

    The area is defined by the diversity of its landscape, with rural, urban and suburban dimensions. There is 88km of coastline stretching from Sutton to Balbriggan, three large protected estuaries and salt marsh habitats with 13 major beaches. Fingal has major economic assets, including the Dublin Port Tunnel, road and rail infrastructure, proximity to Dublin City and a prime location on the Dublin-Belfast Economic corridor. Dublin Airport provides a significant economic hub for the county. The Institute of Technology in Blanchardstown and has good links with Dublin City University.

    1.2 Population Ireland has experienced a population growth of 30.1 percent over the past 20 years and the Dublin Region has grown at the slightly lower rate of 24.2 percent. Fingal County, by contrast, has rapidly expanded throughout the 20-year-period, and has grown by an exceptional 79.4 percent, which is by far the highest growth rate experienced by any county throughout Ireland. In April 2011 Fingal had a population of 273,991, consisting of 134,488 males and 139,503 females. Even since the economic decline, Ireland’s population has continued to grow by 8.2 percent between 2006 and 2011. Fingal’s population has again grown by 14.2 percent, well above the nationally experienced population growth, over the past five years. The fastest growing EDs within Fingal are Airport (171.9 percent) and Balgriffin (115.8 percent), both of which more than doubled their population and are hence amongst the fastest growing areas in Ireland. In 2011 the population of pre-school age (0-4) was 26,708, of primary school going age (5-12) was 33,076 and of secondary school going age (13-18) was 19,054. There were 19,861 persons aged 65 years and over. The number of persons aged 18 years or over was 198,196. In 2011 29 percent of the population was under 18 and 45 percent under 30 years of age. It is estimated that Fingal’s population will be over 300,000 by the 2016 census, representing an increase of approximately 9.5 percent. By 2021 the population is expected to have risen to over 330,0001.

    1.3 Age Profile In 2011 Fingal returned a significantly higher percentage of the population of below 44 years of age than was the case nationally (72.75 percent compared to 65.60 percent). Consequently, the County has a relatively lower percentage of people of over 45 years of age. Figure 1 – Fingal Age Profile 2011

    585-Fingal Socio-Economic Profile r9.2.doc Page 6 14/04/2015

    While there has been a continuous decline in the age dependency rate (the proportion of population under 15 years of age or over 64 as part of the total population) throughout Ireland in the period between 1991 and 2006, from 38.1 percent (1991) to 31.4 percent (2006), the ratio has again increased to 33.0 percent in 2011. An even greater decline applied to Fingal in the period between 1991 and 2006 (36.9 percent to 28.1 percent). In 2011 the age dependency rate was 31.5 percent, i.e. marginally lower than the national average. At ED level there are some significant differences in the demographic profiles, with an age dependency rate exceeding 40 percent in Lucan North (41.8 percent), followed by Howth (38.8 percent) and Ballyboghil (38.7 percent). This contrasts with age dependency rates of about half that rate in Airport (18.3 percent) and Castleknock-Park (24.3 percent).

    1.4 Lone Parents The proportion of Lone Parents (as a proportion of all households with dependent children) in Ireland has exactly doubled over the past 20 years, growing from 10.7 percent in 1991 to 21.6 percent nationally in 2011. There are marked differences between urban and rural areas, and lone parent rates in the major cities are again up to twice the national average (e.g. Limerick City 37.5 percent). Fingal had a rate of 21.7 percent in 2011; practically identical to the nationally prevailing rate. There are vast differences with regard to individual areas within the county and single parent families tend to be concentrated in those EDs that also have significant levels of local authority housing within them. The Lone Parent rate exceeds 50 percent in Blanchardstown-Tyrrelstown (51.7 percent); i.e. roughly every second family with dependent children that lives in this area is headed by a single parent. At the opposite extreme, Lucan North (5.7 percent) is the only ED where the Lone Parent rate is under 10 percent.

    1.5 Marital Status Of the 207,584 persons aged 15 years and over, 84,321 were single, 103,902 were married, 6,757 were separated, 5,578 were divorced and 7,026 were widowed.

    1.6 Households According to the CSO Census of Population there were 93,146 private households in Fingal in April 2011, of which 16,000 were single person households. Of the 73,206 families in the area, 20,435 were couples with no children. The average number of children per family was 1.4, which was equal to that found across the State. From Fingal County Council’s annual housecount survey, conducted in July 2014, it is estimated that there are 102,647 residential units in Fingal. This can be broken down into 96,049 residential units in urban areas and 6,598 in rural areas including villages. In mid-2014 there were over 1,000 units at various stages of construction. In addition, there were over 12,000 units with planning permission throughout the county that had not started construction. There is estimated to be sufficient zoned land to accommodate, approximately, a further 31,000 units. The Regional Planning Guidelines indicate that Fingal should have 142,144 residential units by 2022. There has been a 1.9 percentage point decrease in the proportion of local authority housing in Ireland over the past 20 years, from 9.8 percent in 1991 to 7.9 percent in 2011. The proportion in the Dublin Region has declined by 4.8 percentage points, from 14.1 percent to 9.3 percent. Similarly, Fingal has seen a significant decline in the proportion of local authority housing from 8.8 percent to 5.4 percent.

    At ED level, the highest concentrations of local authority housing are found in Blanchardstown-Tyrrelstown (54.0 percent), followed by Blanchardstown-Corduff (29.2 percent), Blanchardstown-Mulhuddart (22.4 percent) and Blanchardstown-Coolmine (20.6 percent). The CSO Census of Population 2011 indicates that 82.9 percent of households lived in houses or bungalows while a further 16.9 percent lived in apartments, flats or bedsits. 65,261 dwellings (70.2 percent) were owner occupied while 26,368 dwellings (28.4 percent) were rented. 35.9 percent of the dwellings in Co. Fingal were built in the ten years before the census. The average number of persons per household was 2.9 compared with 2.7 nationally. In 2011 44.4 percent of households had two or more cars.

    1.7 Affluence and Deprivation The Dublin Region is the most affluent region of Ireland, and Fingal is the second most affluent local authority area within the region2. Fingal has been impacted by the economic downturn after 2007, reflected in the drop in the absolute deprivation score from 4.8 in 2006 to -1.8 in 2011. This represents a drop of 6.6, compared to a nationwide drop of 6.5. This also implies that the relative position of Fingal has remained stable between 2006 and 2011, occupying the place as the second most affluent local authority area in Ireland. There are considerable differences in the relative affluence and deprivation between various parts of the county. Of the total of 42 EDs in Fingal, 33 are inclined towards affluence. The most affluent areas are Lucan, Castleknock and Malahide towards the South and East of the county. The most disadvantaged areas are parts of the original Blanchardstown Partnership area3. At a local level, the most deprived EDs are Blanchardstown-Tyrrelstown (-13.6) and Blanchardstown-Corduff (-10.9), followed by Balbriggan Urban (-4.1), Blanchardstown-Coolmine (-3.9) and Blanchardstown-Mulhuddart (-3.6). While the former two EDs are the only ones in Fingal falling into the ‘disadvantaged’ category, seven other EDs classify as being ‘marginally below average’. The most affluent EDs in Fingal are Castleknock-Park (17.3), Airport (15.0), Lucan North (15.0), Malahide East (13.2), Balgriffin (12.7), Castleknock-Knockmaroon (12.3), Malahide West (10.9) and Portmarnock North (10.1), all of which classify as ‘affluent’ areas.

    1.8 Broadband Connectivity In 2011 79.5 percent of households had broadband connectivity compared with 63.8 percent nationally.

    1.9 Migration and Ethnicity 91.9 percent of the usually resident population aged over 1 lived at the same address one year before the census of 2011. A further 5.8 percent lived elsewhere in the county, 0.9 percent lived elsewhere in the State, whilst 1.4 percent lived outside the State twelve months before the census date. Fingal is ethnically diverse with non-Irish nationals accounting for 18.3 percent of the population, compared with a national average figure of 12.0 percent. Polish nationals (10,591 persons) were the largest group, followed by UK nationals (4,837 persons).

    2 2011 Pobal HP Deprivation Index - Area Profile for Fingal County: Feline Engling and Trutz Haase: February 2013 3 Blanchardstown includes some of the largest EDs by population. The ED level data confounds considerable differences with regard to affluence and deprivation within each of these EDs.

    585-Fingal Socio-Economic Profile r9.2.doc Page 7 14/04/2015

    1.10 Languages According to the CSO Census of Population 2011, 96,537 persons could speak the Irish language and of these, 35,211 spoke the language daily. 54,123 persons spoke a language other than Irish or English at home and of these 8,850 could not speak English well or at all. Polish was the most common foreign language spoken at home with 10,345 speakers.

    1.11 Disabilities and Carers 27,928 persons had a disability in April 2011, of whom 6,921, representing 24.8 percent of the total, were aged 65 years and over. 9,214 persons (3,479 males and 5,735 females) provided regular unpaid personal help for a friend or family member with a long-term illness, health problem or disability. 18.8 percent of these provided care for more than 6 hours per day.

    1.12 Religion There were 212,860 Roman Catholics in Fingal at census time 2011. A further 36,634 were adherents of other stated religions (e.g. Church of Ireland, Islam, Presbyterian, Orthodox), while 19,111 persons indicated that they had no religion.

    1.13 Education There has been a continuous improvement in the level of education amongst the adult population over the past 20 years throughout Ireland. In 1991, 36.7 percent of the adult population had primary education only. This dropped to half that level (18.9 percent) in 2006 and even further to 16.0 percent in 2011. Between 2006 and 2011 the adult population with primary education only decreased by 2.9 percentage points. The rate for Fingal has fallen from 27.0 percent in 1991, to 10.8 percent in 2006 and 9.5 percent in 2011. This is a reduction of 17.5 percentage points (compared to -20.7 percentage points nationally), resulting in Fingal having the second lowest rate (after Dun Laoghaire/Rathdown with 8.3 percent) for any county. Despite the considerable improvement at county level, there are some differences with regard to the prevalence of low education between different EDs. There are higher parts of the adult population having primary education only in Blanchardstown-Corduff (24.4 percent) and Clonmethan (20.3 percent), compared to 16.0 percent nationally. This contrasts with Airport (3.3 percent), Lucan North (3.7 percent), Castleknock-Park (3.9 percent) and Castleknock-Knockmaroon (4.7 percent), where less than five percent fall into this category. The reverse applies with regard to third-level education, which has more than doubled over the past 20 years. In 1991, 13.0 percent of the national adult population had completed third-level education. This grew to 30.5 percent in 2006, but increased by only another 0.1 percentage point to 30.6 percent in 2011. The proportion of Fingal’s population with third-level education has grown from 16.9 percent in 1991, to 39.8 percent in 2006, but decreased by 1.9 percentage points to reach 37.9 percent in 2011. This 20-year growth is slightly higher than that which has occurred nationally (21.0 percentage points compared to 17.6 percentage points nationally). At ED level, and again mirroring the situation with regard to the higher incidences of low levels of education, there are particularly low shares of population with third-level education in Blanchardstown-Tyrrelstown (12.6 percent) and Blanchardstown-Corduff (13.8 percent), both having proportions of adults with third-level education less than half the national average (30.6 percent).

    Across the county in 2011, of those aged 15 years and over whose full-time education had ceased, 9.5 percent were educated to at most primary level only; a further 52.7 percent attained second level, whilst 37.9 percent were educated to third level.

    1.14 Social Class Composition The changes in social class composition experienced throughout Ireland over the past 20 years largely parallel those in educational achievement, with a gradual increase in the number of professionals and an even greater decline in the proportion of semi- and unskilled manual workers. At the national level, the proportion of professionals in all classes rose from 25.2 percent in 1991 to 34.6 percent in 2011, whilst the proportion of the semi- and unskilled classes declined from 28.2 percent to 17.5 percent over the same period. In Fingal, the proportion in the professional classes (40.4 percent) and the proportion in the lower skilled professions (13.6 percent) mark a composition at the upper end of the social class composition. Fingal is the county with the second highest share (after Dun Laoghaire/Rathdown with 54.8 percent professionals) of professionals amongst all counties. Differences in the social class composition within the county reflect those of educational attainment, with Castleknock-Park having the highest composition (63.2 percent professionals, 5.3 percent semi- and unskilled manual classes) and Blanchardstown-Tyrrelstown having the lowest (11.3 percent professionals, 29.3 percent manual classes).

    1.15 Labour Force In 2011 there were 141,916 persons aged 15 years and over in the labour force and of these, 84.0 percent (119,276 persons) were at work. The unemployment rate for this area was 16.0 percent compared with a national average rate of 19.0 percent. Of the 65,668 persons aged 15 years and over who were outside the labour force, 33.1 percent were students, 28.2 percent were looking after the home/family and 28.0 percent were retired. Of the 119,276 workers enumerated in Fingal, 55,808 worked outside the area. The daytime working population (resident and non-resident) of Fingal was 82,738 with ‘commerce and trade’ being the largest industry.

    1.16 Unemployment Unemployment rates have broadly halved over the 15-year period from 1991 to 2006 and subsequently risen by 2011 to levels surpassing the 1991 levels. Nationally, the male unemployment rate fell from 18.4 percent in 1991 to 8.8 percent in 2006 and then rose to 22.3 percent in 2011. The female unemployment rate fell from 14.1 percent in 1991 to 8.1 percent in 2006. In 2011 it had again nearly doubled, accounting for 15.0 percent. Female unemployment rates have tended to be slightly below male unemployment rates, but did not fall at the same pace during the time of the economic boom due to the increasing female labour force participation (i.e. reflecting the trend of increased female participation in the labour force with more women registering their unemployed status). The increase in the unemployment rates since the 2006 Census has been much more pronounced with regard to male unemployment, which rose by a factor of 2.5 compared to a nearly two-fold increase for female unemployment. During the growth period, unemployment rates for Fingal have fallen at a slower pace compared to the nationally prevailing ones between 1991 and 2006, albeit from a significantly lower base. Male unemployment fell from 14.1 percent in 1991 to 7.4 percent in 2006, a drop of 6.7 percentage points (compared to 9.6 percentage points nationally). Female unemployment declined from 12.1 percent to 7.9 percent, a drop of 4.2 percentage points (compared to 6.0 percentage points nationally).

  • Fingal Local Community Development Committee: Demographic and Socio-Economic Profile: Statistical Baseline

    585-Fingal Socio-Economic Profile r9.2.doc Page 8 14/04/2015

    Over the past five years, male unemployment in Fingal experienced an almost two-and-a-half fold increase, reaching 17.6 percent in 2011. This development closely resembles the nationally experienced increase of male unemployment levels. Correspondingly, the female unemployment rate nearly doubled, reaching 14.0 percent in 2011. Nevertheless, Fingal still has the third lowest unemployment rates of any county. Unemployment rates in individual EDs reach levels well above those prevailing countywide and are highest in Blanchardstown-Tyrrelstown (45.9 percent male, 41.7 percent female), followed by Blanchardstown-Corduff (33.4 percent male, 24.9 percent female), Blanchardstown-Mulhuddart (30.4 percent male, 24.7 percent female) and Blanchardstown-Coolmine (30.0 percent male, 22.1 percent female).

    1.17 Economic Profile National and international economic trends influence enterprise development in Fingal through the ability to attract foreign direct investment. In 2014, the State was ahead of planned fiscal targets for economic recovery, with an anticipated GDP growth of 3.6 percent set to be achieved in 2015. Unemployment was at its lowest level since 2009 at 11 percent, and is expected to fall to 10 percent in 2015. It is anticipated that by 2016 there will be over 2 million people in employment nationally. The 2006 and 2011 census shows that unemployment rates in Fingal reflect the national position and remain a challenge. The number of active businesses in Fingal is determined from the Council’s rate base. The number of rateable businesses has increased by 4.5 percent from 2010 to 2014.

    3 Deprivation Index The Pobal HP4 Deprivation Index measures the relative affluence or disadvantage of an area using data compiled from various censuses. A scoring is given to the area based on a national average of zero and ranging from approximately -35 (being the most disadvantaged) to +35 (being the most affluent). In addition to this, percentage data for the area is given under the following categories: - 1. Population Change; 2. Age Dependency Ratio; 3. Lone Parent Ratio; 4. Primary Education Only; 5. Third Level Education; 6. Unemployment Rate (male and female); and 7. Proportion living in Local Authority Rented Housing. It is considered that the relative index is of particular significance given the economic changes that have occurred nationally during the recent intercensal period.
