Figure 4: Dentists, Health Centres and Hospitals in Carlow
Education Figure 5 shows all the education services (i.e. special needs, primary, secondary and colleges) in Carlow. There is one school for students with special needs located in the northern part of Carlow, which is St Laserians Special School on Dublin Road. The majority of primary schools are located on the northern side of Carlow with four schools, with three schools immediately east of the town. Residents on the southern and western parts of Carlow have access to three primary schools in total. Secondary schools are located on the northern, eastern and southern part of Carlow. There are two third level educational institutions in Carlow, which are Institute of Technology on Kilkenny Road and Carlow College on College Street. There is also a further education facility in the town called Carlow Vocational School.
Therefore, there is a trend that primary and secondary schools are predominantly located in the northern half of the town i.e. north of Tullow Street, while third level institutes are located in the town centre and in the south of the town. Residential areas in the north east of the town are somewhat further from schools and colleges, and generally fall outside their 10 minutes walking catchment. Retail Figure 6 show that retail services are generally spread throughout the town. Popular chain shops and supermarkets such as Dunnes, Tesco, SuperValu, Aldi, and Lidl are located in Carlow, with smaller shops and convenience stores such as Centra, Spar, and Moldova serving other parts of the town. Other shops such as Dealz and HomeSavers are also located in the town centre. Some residential areas do not have retail services conveniently located nearby, particularly in the southern and north-eastern parts of Carlow.
