Geography
The Owenabue river (sometimes referred to as Owenboy on maps) flows through the village.
Demographics The population of the village and its hinterland has increased exponentially since the late 1970s when it was identified as a growth centre by Cork County Council. Such growth has occurred with the relentless construction of new housing, mostly semi-detached in estates. The mainly young population, has been stated in a recent publication, as being 16,664 and this is growing by hundreds of people a year with many more houses planned for the area. The village is thus beginning to assume the function of a town, although it does not have its own town council and remains under the authority of Cork County Council. In the most recent census (2006), Carrigaline was recorded as being the town with the second highest proportion of foreign nationals in the county (behind Midleton) per head of population, with approximatly 900 residents of Eastern European decent, and also a sizable number of Asian and African origin. In mathematics, exponential growth (or geometric growth) occurs when the growth rate of a function is always proportional to the functions current size. ...

Transport - Infrastructural improvements have recently been made with the construction of a Bypass road to the East which allows traffic bound for nearby Crosshaven (R612) to avoid the congestion of Main Street. A similar road to the West is currently in the late planning stages and construction is expected to begin in 2006. This is expected to facilitate the westward expansion of the village to develop a real town center for the area, which up to now it has lacked. There are also plans at the development stage for the upgrading of the main Cork-Carrigaline road, which also serves Ringaskiddy.
