  1. I would have thought there were much more people living in Cork City. Although as with all of these census a lot of people would put down the town they grew up in as their place of residence. So a lot of the students that live in Cork City would put down their home town. As well as a lot of people who live here during the week and then go “home” for the weekend.
    Also what counts as Cork City for the census? Does it include Ballincollig, Douglas etc.?

  2. Like a lot of Irish cities the city boundary in Cork is a joke. Most of Togher, Douglas are outside it and all of Ballincollig, Carrigaline, Glanmire, Gounthaune, Little Island, Passage West, Rochestown, Carrigtwohill, Cobh, etc.
    If all of these areas are included the pop is around 380,000. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cork_%28city%29
    wikipedia has a good explanation with references;
