Abstract

In 2002, and as part of a larger New Urban Living Study, a survey of Ratoath, Co. Meath was conducted. A small, predominantly rural, townland until the late 1980s, Ratoath had, during the 1990s quickly turned into a new suburb of Dublin. The survey, in its most general objective, endeavoured to comprehend the social fabric produced in such localities.
