Social Justice Ireland has published a paper titled The Urban-Rural Divide: What CSO Data Reveals About Life in Ireland.
Social Justice Ireland notes that “Ireland’s population is increasingly urban, yet a significant share of residents remain rooted in rural communities. The CSO’s Urban and Rural Life in Ireland 2025 report offers a detailed snapshot of how these two Irelands differ—and where they converge.” In this paper, SJI looks at housing and living conditions, work and commuting, education and health and social and community life, using CSO data. It concludes with recommendations.
