We're part of 'urban sprawl'

Kilcullen is one of the top ten villages in Ireland suffering from 'urban sprawl'.

According to a list compiled by Business Plus magazine, our population growth between 2002-2006 was 101 percent, which puts us slap in the middle of the top ten table.

For the record, Stamullen in Co Meath is the place which tops the list, with a 219 percent population increase, and Clogherhead, Co Louth is tenth, with 72 percent.
