More cars than I was expecting to see; was Ford set up there at that stage or did that come later?

Cork city population has not grown much
[https://populationdata.org.uk/cork-population-2/](https://populationdata.org.uk/cork-population-2/)
It stays at 800k from 1840 to 1930+.
Then goes up to 120K by 2011.
And then gets some suburbs added to bring Cork up to 220k
“The population of the city of Cork jumped rapidly between the 2016 and 2021 censuses because of the [2019 extension of the Cork city boundary](https://www.corkcity.ie/en/council-services/public-info/boundary-extension/extension-timeline/). At a stroke, the towns of Douglas, Rochestown, Ballincollig, Blarney and Glanmire were incorporated into Cork, increasing the formal population of the city by 85,000.”

Another Cork fact is the early maps show how wet it is [https://triskelartscentre.ie/christchurch/christchurch-history/christchurch-in-early-maps/](https://triskelartscentre.ie/christchurch/christchurch-history/christchurch-in-early-maps/) Without serious sea walls (which wont happen) the city centre will be [underwater fairy](https://www.reddit.com/r/IrishHistory/comments/1rpvj6/customers_enjoying_a_pint_in_a_flooded_pub_in/) soon.
