Rivermeade today

The Rivermeade Estate comprises 175 homes over five streets, just to the south of the Ward River.[1] It is served by the Rivermeade Park stop of the Dublin Bus 40B route, the terminus.[1] The housing was at least partly originally built to house people displaced in the expansion of Dublin Airport. The population fell from 660 in 1991 to 530 in 2016.[1] Rivermeade is served by a national school, and a Roman Catholic church,[1] and is home to Athletic Union League soccer team Rivermeade F.C.

Plans for development

In 2018, the local authority, Fingal County Council, published a statutory Local Area Plan (LAP), a previous plan from 2013 to expand the estate not having come to fruition. This plan envisages making Rivermeade and St. Margaret's in general a more viable community and providing a base for local services, with allowance for the addition of up to 275 houses, and a first commercial centre for the estate, and a civic space.[2]
