Local facts
What's different about Castleconnell
Castleconnell has more old homes than the suburbs: 6.9% were built before 1919, against 5.1% across Limerick city and suburbs. And 92 households have their own septic tank (CSO, our comparison). What we checked:
- Castleconnell had 2,488 people and 906 households at the 2022 census. 95% of households live in a house or bungalow and 5.0% in a flat or apartment (CSO Census 2022, small area statistics).
- 55% of its homes were built in 1991 or later and 17% before 1971; 6.9% date from before 1919 (CSO Census 2022, small area statistics).
- 58% of homes heat with natural gas, 25% with oil and 8.9% with electricity (CSO Census 2022, small area statistics).
- Its water comes through Uisce Éireann's Limerick City Environs supply zone, which tests at a median 250 mg/l of calcium carbonate, moderately hard on Meath County Council's scale (Uisce Éireann hardness results, 2022–2025, scale).
- Inside the CSO's settlement boundary for Castleconnell, 69 new homes were completed from 2021 to 2025 (CSO new dwelling completions by settlement (NDA06)). The boundary was drawn after the 2016 census, so estates built on the edge since then may fall outside it.
- In July 2025 Uisce Éireann crews were in New Garden North replacing 1.1 km of old water mains, to reduce high levels of leakage in the area (Limerick Post).
- 88% of households are on the public sewer and 92 have their own septic tank; 52 get their water from a group scheme (CSO Census 2022).
- Castleconnell addresses carry V94 Eircodes, for example Castlerock Avenue (daft.ie listing).
A septic tank that backs up is the owner's to empty and fix, not Uisce Éireann's. In an older village house, ask the plumber what the supply pipe is made of before any work on a leak.
