Population and land use
At the turn of the 20th century, the townland had a population of approximately 200 people.[3][4]
By the early 21st century, it was proposed to develop a planned settlement on "greenfield agricultural land" in the area.[5] Covering Script error: No such module "convert". and containing 5,000 dwellings, schools, a medical centre and other facilities, this settlement was proposed to service a population of 13,000 people.[6][7] Similar in concept to Adamstown, Dublin, the planning application called for the settlement to be based on three villages and a town centre, built around a new railway station.[6] Due to the fallout from the Irish property bubble and planning challenges, the development was significantly delayed, with approval only finally given in June 2016.[8]
As of the 2011 census, Monard townland had a population of 196 people.[9]
Train station
The 2001 planning proposal called for a railway station, serving the projected residential development, to be located at the Rathpeacon siding on the Dublin-Cork mainline.[6][10] In June 2016, the planning authority, An Bord Pleanála, stated that construction on housing within the 'Monard Strategic Development Zone' could not commence until the completion of this proposed station.[11] As of 2018[update]Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"., no works on the proposed Monard train station had commenced, with no funding allocated in the National Development Plan for the period 2018-2027.[12] The Cork Metropolitan Area Draft Transport Strategy 2040, a public consultation document published by the National Transport Authority in May 2019, included Monard as one of several potential locations for future stations in the area.[13]
