This page lists the "towns" of the Republic of Ireland as defined by the Central Statistics Office for the 2002 census.

Under the Local Government Acts, 1994 (S.I. 171 of 1994) and 2001 (S.I. 591 of 2001), the following cities and towns have legally defined boundaries:

All of these are marked in boldface in the lists.

In addition, the Central Statistics Office defines a "census town" as

a cluster of fifty or more occupied dwellings, not having a legally defined boundary, in which within a distance of 800 metres there is a nucleus of either thirty occupied houses on both sides of the road or twenty occupied houses on one side of the road.

There were 612 census towns for the 2002 census.

Some census towns span the border between two counties: these are marked with an asterisk, and listed under both counties.

There is no "official" spelling of the names of census towns: this list uses the spelling (and language) adopted by the Central Statistics Office.

  1. ^  Kilkenny is a city by virtue of its Royal Charter granted in 1609 by King James I, and its right to describe itself as a city is recognised by Section 10(7) of the Local Government Act 2001. However it does not have the administrative privileges of other cities in the Republic of Ireland, and is considered to be a borough for local government purposes.
