The late 1960s and early 1970s saw an increase in population in rural Ireland. Prior to this period rural populations were in a state of decline. This rural growth, however, was not uniformly distributed throughout Ireland, in fact, it had marked spatial variations. Those rural areas which lay adjacent to urban centres experienced growth while more remote parts of the country, peripheral to urban centres, did not. This two-fold classification of rural areas has important consequences on the quality of life experienced by the residents of such areas.
