**Maynooth** ([/məˈnuːθ/](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/English); [Irish](/source/Irish_language): *Maigh Nuad* [2]) is a university town in north [County Kildare](/source/County_Kildare), [Ireland](/source/Republic_of_Ireland). It is home to [Maynooth University](/source/Maynooth_University) (part of the [National University of Ireland](/source/National_University_of_Ireland) and also known as the National University of Ireland, Maynooth) and [St Patrick's College](/source/St_Patrick's_College%2C_Maynooth), a [Pontifical University](/source/Pontifical_University) and Ireland's sole Roman Catholic seminary. Maynooth is also the seat of the Irish Catholic Bishops' Conference[3] and holds the headquarters of Ireland's largest development charity, [Trócaire](/source/Tr%C3%B3caire).[4] Maynooth is located 24 kilometres (15 miles) west of central [Dublin](/source/Dublin).

## Location and access

Maynooth is located on the [R148 road](/source/Roads_in_Ireland) between [Leixlip](/source/Leixlip) and [Kilcock](/source/Kilcock), with the [M4 motorway](/source/M4_motorway_(Republic_of_Ireland)) bypassing the town. Other roads connect the town to [Celbridge](/source/Celbridge), [Clane](/source/Clane), and [Dunboyne](/source/Dunboyne). Maynooth is also on the [Dublin-Sligo railway line](/source/Dublin-Sligo_railway_line) and is served by the [Commuter](/source/Commuter_(Iarnr%C3%B3d_%C3%89ireann)) and [InterCity](/source/InterCity_(Iarnr%C3%B3d_%C3%89ireann)) train services.

## Etymology

Maynooth comes from [Irish](/source/Irish_language) *Maigh Nuadhat* or *Maigh Nuadhad*, meaning "plain of [Nuadha](/source/Nuada_Airgetl%C3%A1m)".[5] *Maigh Nuad* is the modern spelling. Nuadha was one of the gods of the ancient Irish, corresponding to [Nudd](/source/Lludd_Llaw_Eraint) of Wales and [Nodens](/source/Nodens) of ancient Britain and Gaul.

## History

### Historical governance

[Maynooth Castle](/source/Maynooth_Castle), 1885

Maynooth was a long-term centre for the [Geraldine](/source/Geraldines) or FitzGerald family, which dominated Irish affairs during the Anglo-Norman and Tudor periods.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

From 1932 to 1937, the town was the unofficial home to the King's representative in Ireland, Governor General [Domhnall Ua Buachalla](/source/Domhnall_Ua_Buachalla), who declined to take up official residence in the Viceregal Lodge in the Phoenix Park, and whose family operated a hardware store in the town until 2005.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

### Historical features

Maynooth Castle

The town is just inside the western edge of [The Pale](/source/The_Pale_(Ireland)). It has, at either end of the main street, [Maynooth Castle](/source/Maynooth_Castle) and [Carton House](/source/Carton_House), two former seats of the Dukes of Leinster. The castle was a stronghold of the 16th century historical figure [Thomas FitzGerald, 10th Earl of Kildare](/source/Thomas_FitzGerald%2C_10th_Earl_of_Kildare) who was better known as Silken Thomas. The castle was overrun in 1535,[6] after the rebellion of the Earl.

The most important historical buildings in the town are those of St. Patrick's College and some which antedate the foundation of the college, while others are in the late Georgian and neo-Gothic revival style. The "new range" of buildings was erected by [A. W. N. Pugin](/source/Augustus_Pugin) in 1850 under a commission from then college president [Laurence F. Renehan](/source/Laurence_F._Renehan), while the College Chapel was designed and completed by [James Joseph McCarthy](/source/James_Joseph_McCarthy) during the presidency of Robert Browne in 1894.

Conolly's Folly is within Maynooth's extensive town boundaries.

There are three old monastic settlements in the vicinity of Maynooth, including [Laraghbryan](/source/Laraghbryan) and its cemetery, [Taghadoe](/source/Taghadoe) and its Round Tower and [Grangewilliam](/source/Grangewilliam) (Donaghmore).

Maynooth Pound is a rare example of a surviving pound which has existed since the 18th century. The existing walls were built in 1822 although the pound is older than that. Historically, stray animals were impounded here to be returned to their owners for a fee or sold at auction if not claimed. More recently[*[when?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Chronological_items)*] the pound was renovated and is now a place of recreation by the [Lyreen River](/source/Lyreen_River).[7][8]

## Population

‹ The [template](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Template) *[Historical populations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Historical_populations)* is being [considered for merging](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2026_June_24#Template:Infobox_demographics). ›

Historical population Year Pop. ±% 1813 1,468 — 1821 1,364 −7.1% 1831 2,053 +50.5% 1841 2,129 +3.7% 1851 1,696 −20.3% 1861 1,497 −11.7% 1871 1,414 −5.5% 1881 1,278 −9.6% 1891 958 −25.0% 1901 948 −1.0% 1911 886 −6.5% 1926 846 −4.5% 1936 632 −25.3% 1946 573 −9.3% 1951 581 +1.4% 1956 1,722 +196.4% 1961 1,753 +1.8% 1966 1,254 −28.5% 1971 1,296 +3.3% 1981 3,388 +161.4% 1986 6,893 +103.5% 1991 6,027 −12.6% 1996 8,528 +41.5% 2002 10,845 +27.2% 2006 10,715 −1.2% 2011 12,510 +16.8% 2016 14,585 +16.6% 2022 17,259 +18.3%

The population of 17,259 (according to the census in 2022)[9] makes Maynooth the fourth largest settlement in [County Kildare](/source/County_Kildare) and the [29th largest settlement in Ireland](/source/List_of_urban_areas_in_the_Republic_of_Ireland). However, during the academic year the population of Maynooth nearly doubles in size.[10] Measurement can be difficult as much of the population is transient – students at [Maynooth University](/source/Maynooth_University) (above 12,000) or St. Patrick's College, or temporary employees at the nearby [Intel](/source/Intel) and [Hewlett Packard Enterprise](/source/Hewlett_Packard_Enterprise) facilities (both located in [Leixlip](/source/Leixlip)).[11]

## Education

St Patrick's College

There are two third-level educational institutions – [St Patrick's College](/source/St_Patrick's_College%2C_Maynooth), founded under [King George III](/source/King_George_III) in 1795 to train Ireland's Roman Catholic clergy, and [Maynooth University](/source/Maynooth_University), separated from St. Patrick's College in 1997 – located in the town. They share campus space and many facilities.

There are two secondary schools ([Maynooth Post Primary & Maynooth Community College](/source/Maynooth_Post_Primary_School), run from the same premises by [Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board](/source/Education_and_Training_Board)), and five primary schools: the [Presentation Sisters](/source/Presentation_Sisters) girls-only school, the [Dublin Archdiocese](/source/Roman_Catholic_Archdiocese_of_Dublin) boys-only school (St. Mary's BNS), the [Educate Together](/source/Educate_Together) school, the Dublin Archdiocese Irish-language school and the [An Foras Pátrúnachta](/source/An_Foras_P%C3%A1tr%C3%BAnachta) multi-denominational Irish-language primary school, currently co-located with the other Irish-language school.

A KWETB Irish-language secondary school opened in September 2020.[12][*[needs update](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Chronological_items)*]

## Amenities

The town contains a [fire station](/source/Fire_station), in addition to the area's part-time [Garda](/source/Garda_S%C3%ADoch%C3%A1na) station, a health centre, a public library, and a [credit union](/source/Credit_union) as well as various restaurants, including *Romayo's* which was voted to be the best Take-Away in [Leinster](/source/Leinster) in 2014.[13] Maynooth Community [Library](/source/Public_library) hosts regular public events, including [book clubs](/source/Book_discussion_club), a film club, children's storytime, and author visits. It also offers services and events relating to National Healthy Ireland and Work Matters initiatives.

## Churches

Maynooth is served by two churches named St. Mary's, one St. Mary's [Church of Ireland](/source/Church_of_Ireland) (Anglican) which is incorporated into the walls of St. Patrick's College, and St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, where the Kilcock Road turns into Maynooth Village, serving the Maynooth Parish of St. Mary's and Lady chapel. Also close by is the former Moyglare Church which is used as the Church of Ireland, [Meath & Kildare](/source/Diocese_of_Meath_and_Kildare) Diocesan Centre. Maynooth Community Church, a congregation linked to the [Presbyterian Church in Ireland](/source/Presbyterian_Church_in_Ireland), has applied for planning permission to construct a church.

## Economy

The town is the main retail and service centre for North Kildare and South [Meath](/source/County_Meath), with several supermarkets as well as a wide variety of non-chain stores.

In October 2005, [Dunnes Stores](/source/Dunnes_Stores) opened a major shopping centre off the town's main street, *Manor Mills*.[14] This centre contains a number of other high street shops.

Carton House is a five-star hotel located on the outskirts of Maynooth. In 2020, it was announced that the hotel would be managed by the [Fairmont](/source/Fairmont_Hotels_and_Resorts) hospitality group.[15]

## Transport

### Canal

Royal Canal harbour, Maynooth 2023

When the Royal Canal was designed in 1790, with a planned length of 175 km, with 76 locks, 65 aqueducts and 85 bridges, it was intended to pass north of the town of Maynooth. However the Duke of Leinster contributed £1,000 towards the cost of the £200,000 undertaking and insisted that his town would be served by the canal.[16] Maynooth has a canal harbour, and the canal is navigable from central Dublin to this point and onwards to Clondara, County Longford. It is now mostly used for leisure and drainage purposes but historically was used for passengers and freight (grain, potatoes, coal and coke, manure, turf, bricks, stone, sand, timber, and general merchandise) and Maynooth's canal harbour provided a stopping point before Dublin. When the railways arrived, passengers transferred to the quicker rail service.

The harbour, known locally as *Duke's Harbour*, is roughly triangular in shape and on the north side of the canal, opposite the railway station, is a popular fishing area.

### Rail

[Maynooth railway station](/source/Maynooth_railway_station) is one of the busiest in the Dublin / Kildare region, as it serves two major educational institutions and is a major commuter town for people working in [Dublin](/source/Dublin). The town is the terminus of most [Iarnród Éireann](/source/Iarnr%C3%B3d_%C3%89ireann) [Western Commuter](/source/Dublin_Suburban_Rail#Western_Commuter) trains, as well as being served by the Dublin-Sligo InterCity service.

In December 2019, Iarnród Éireann awarded a contract for Multi-Disciplinary Consultancy Team[17] for the expansion of the [Dublin Area Rapid Transit](/source/Dublin_Area_Rapid_Transit) on the Maynooth Line which will lead to electrification of the line to Maynooth and increase capacity on the line.

### Bus

[Dublin Bus](/source/Dublin_Bus) operates routes C3, C4 and the night buses C5 and C6, from Maynooth to [Ringsend](/source/Ringsend) in Dublin.[18] [Go-Ahead Ireland](/source/Go-Ahead_Ireland) operates the W61, which links Maynooth to the [Hazelhatch and Celbridge Railway Station](/source/Hazelhatch_and_Celbridge_railway_station).[19] [Bus Éireann](/source/Bus_%C3%89ireann) services 22 (Ballina to Dublin Airport), 23 (Sligo to Dublin Airport) and 115 (Mullingar/Kilcock to Dublin) serve the town, as well as [Aircoach](/source/Aircoach)'s route 706/706X (Galway to Dublin Airport).[20][21][22][23] Passengers may travel from Maynooth westbound or to [Dublin Airport](/source/Dublin_Airport).

JJ Kavanagh/[National Transport Authority](/source/National_Transport_Authority_(Ireland)) route 139 links [Naas](/source/Naas) to [Blanchardstown](/source/Blanchardstown) via Maynooth. A number of private operators also serve the town, linking it with nearby towns and cities; many in college term-time only.
