Household broadband in Swords set against two benchmarks that both carry the word State or Ireland. Counts are published; percentages are our arithmetic. | Measure | Swords | Row labelled State in the town tables | The State, from the county table | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Households with broadband | 12,233 of 13,643, about 89.7% | 1,083,309 of 1,317,616, about 82.2% | 1,457,883 of 1,836,728, about 79.4% | | Households with no internet | 405, about 3.0% | 95,677, about 7.3% | 159,866, about 8.7% | | Swords ahead on broadband by | | 7.4 points | 10.3 points | | Who the benchmark covers | | The 867 towns only, 3,582,870 residents | Everyone, 5,084,879 residents | ### How we know what the row is We added every one of the 867 town rows in the birthplace table. The sum is exactly 3,582,870, the figure in the row labelled State. A national total would have been 5,084,879. The label is short for all towns in the State, and the table's own note does not say so. ### Why it moves the answer The two benchmark rows themselves show that households outside towns are less likely to have broadband, so a benchmark made only of towns sits higher than the true national figure. Compare Swords with it and Swords looks less far ahead than it is. ### What a learner writes The sum that proves what the row covers, both comparisons side by side, and one sentence that names the benchmark in full instead of trusting a one-word label. ### A benchmark is a choice, and it should be named School results are compared with a national average, salaries with a sector median, a shop with last year. Every one of those comparisons depends on exactly who is inside the benchmark. When the label is short, people fill in the meaning they expect, and the most natural reading of State is everyone in the country. A learner who has proved, with one addition, that a row called State leaves out a million and a half people will never again compare anything with a benchmark whose contents they have not checked. By our arithmetic on the same tables, 1,502,009 people and 519,112 households live outside the 867 built-up areas, which is why the town-table row and the true national figures differ on almost everything. This page quotes Swords from the town tables and the State from the county and province tables, and labels each one, so no comparison on it is made against the wrong benchmark. Swords in the town tables ## A big town with a young working population Every figure below is published for the built-up area Swords, Co Dublin, in the Census 2022 small area tables. | Counted in Swords | Number | | --- | --- | | Usual residents | 40,458 | | Born in Ireland | 30,184 | | Households | 13,643 | | People at work | 20,683 | | Students aged fifteen and over | 3,169 | | Children under fifteen in childcare | 2,843 | ### Where residents were born Beyond the 30,184 born in Ireland, 3,364 were born elsewhere in the European Union, 3,289 elsewhere in the world, 1,559 in the United Kingdom, 1,337 in Poland and 725 in India. ### What people work in Commerce and trade employs 5,755 Swords residents, professional services 4,667 and transport and communications 3,438, the census's own broad industry groups. ### Working from home Of 20,536 working residents counted in the home-working table, 7,005 work from home at least some of the time. A note on the two population figures in circulation for Swords. The census town list gives the total population counted there on census night, and our Fingal page quotes it. The small area tables used here count usual residents, people whose home is in Swords, which is a slightly different group. Neither is wrong; they answer slightly different questions, and this page sticks to one. Getting about ## A bus town, not a train town How Swords residents travel, from the census, and what the county council itself tells visitors. | Mode | Residents | | --- | --- | | Driving a car | 10,438 | | Bus, minibus or coach | 3,299 | | Working mainly at or from home | 2,200 | | On foot | 1,324 | | Bicycle | 366 | | Train, DART or Luas | 143 | ### The council's own directions Fingal County Council's travel information for County Hall lists Dublin Bus routes 33, 33a, 33b, 41, 41b, 41c, 41x, 43 and 102, Swords Express from Eden Quay via the Port Tunnel, and LocalLink route 196, and no train, which matches the census closely. ### The school run Of 10,560 residents travelling to school, college or childcare, 3,915 go as car passengers, 3,345 walk and 1,883 take a bus. ### Early starts 2,668 Swords residents leave home before half past six in the morning, about 10.7% of those who stated a time, against about 7.5% across all towns combined, by our arithmetic. What early starts mean for learning In a town where more than one resident in ten who stated a time is out of the door before 06:30, and 2,955 travel an hour or more, weekday evenings are short. A lesson that starts at home at a fixed hour, with no drive into Dublin and back, is the arrangement most likely to survive a school year. Schools and the council ## Two first-wave schools and County Hall Named sources, each read at the organisation that published it. ### Loreto College, Swords One of the forty schools on the Department of Education's January 2018 list to begin Leaving Certificate Computer Science that September. ### St Finian's Community College Also in Swords and also on that first list, so two of the original forty schools are in this one town. ### County Hall Fingal County Council gives its Swords office as County Hall, Main Street, Swords, K67 X8Y2, opposite Swords Castle at the northern end of Main Street. We have no connection with Fingal County Council or with either school. Census figures are quoted exactly as published in the town tables and every percentage on this page is our own arithmetic. The first-phase school list was read on gov.ie on 16 September 2026; when we returned on 17 September the site refused automated requests, so the saved copy from the day before was used rather than any way around that refusal. Learning ladder ## From comparing scores to choosing benchmarks Ages are only a guide; the first lesson sets the real level. Ages 6 to 10 ### Fair comparisons Games that compare two teams and notice when one team had fewer players. [Scratch Coding for Kids](/courses/scratch-programming-complete-course)[Coding for Kids](/courses/kids-coding-blocks-masterclass)Ages 11 to 13 ### What is in the total Adding up the parts of a table to prove what a total row really covers. [Python and AI for Kids](/courses/python-ai-kids-masterclass)[Maths Through Coding](/courses/maths-through-coding)Ages 14 to 18 ### Benchmarks in data Comparing a place with two benchmarks and naming each one in full. [Data Science for Teens](/courses/data-science-course-for-teens-python-data)[Python for Teens](/courses/python-complete-masterclass-teens)Ages 18 to 67 ### Honest comparisons at work Reporting against averages and targets whose contents have actually been checked. [Python Automation Course](/courses/python-ai-automation-masterclass-college)[Data and AI Analytics for Non-Programmers (Excel, Sheets, Power BI)](/courses/data-and-ai-analytics-for-non-programmers-course)Coding and AI ## Give a tool the town table and it will read State as the country That is what the word means, and in this table it is wrong. Ask for Swords compared with the national figure using the town tables, and the row called State is the obvious choice. The comparison comes back cleanly, with a confident gap, and nothing mentions that the benchmark leaves out everyone outside a town. The label invited the error and the tool accepted the invitation. The learner who has added up the 867 rows knows to check what a total contains before using it. That check takes one line of code, and it is the difference between a comparison and a coincidence of labels. The machines will keep reading labels at face value. People who look underneath them are worth more every year, which is the real answer to whether coding is worth learning now. The longer argument is in [is it still worth learning to code in 2026](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). Delivery ## Lessons at home in Swords No drive into the city and no bus timetable to plan around. ### Live teaching Each lesson has a teacher present throughout, asking and answering, with the learner expected to take part. ### Level, not postcode Groups of five to ten are formed by ability, drawing on Swords, the rest of Ireland and other countries. ### Two a week, usually About eight lessons a month at an hour agreed once, around school and exams. ### Irish school stages From primary through Junior Cycle, Transition Year and the Leaving Certificate years. ### What the learner needs A laptop or desktop, working sound and a connection that carries video, which almost nine in ten Swords households have on broadband. ### Private where it suits If no group at the right level meets at a workable hour, the course runs one to one. For families who start early The census shows early departures are common in Swords. For those households a fixed evening or weekend lesson at the kitchen table is far easier to protect than a class across town. Fees ## Fees in Swords Three prices, no extras. First class**USD 0** The first lesson, free, finishing with a level and a course suggestion. Group tuition**USD 100** A month in a group of five to ten at one level, around eight lessons. Private tuition**USD 150** A month of one to one lessons at the same weekly pace. Invoices are monthly and in US dollars, at the single rate we use outside India, and they are the same in Swords as anywhere else in Ireland. Nothing is charged before the free lesson has settled a course and an hour; pauses, missed lessons and a change between group and private are explained on the pricing page.

The census small area tables count 40,458 usual residents in the built-up area of Swords, in 13,643 households. The census town list gives a slightly different total population, which our Fingal page quotes. ### Which Swords schools offered Leaving Certificate Computer Science first? Loreto College and St Finian's Community College, both on the January 2018 list of forty schools that began the subject that September. ### What is the Swords data project? Learners discover that the row labelled State in the census town tables is really all towns combined, prove it by adding 867 rows, and see Swords' broadband lead grow from 7.4 to 10.3 points against the true national figure. ### Is there a train to Swords? The census counts 143 Swords residents travelling to work by train, DART or Luas, and Fingal County Council's own travel information for its Swords office lists bus routes only. ### What times are lessons? Weekday evenings, after school, and weekend mornings. Teaching is done from India, which runs four and a half hours ahead of Irish summer time and five and a half ahead in winter, so those Irish hours sit inside our normal day. ### Does my child need to be good at maths first? No. The first lesson finds each learner's real starting level, and the course begins from there. ### Can adults in Swords join? Yes. Learners run from six to sixty-seven, and the free lesson places an adult with a group that matches their level and goals, or with a private teacher. ### Is there a Modern Age Coders classroom in Swords? No, and we never imply one. Teaching is live over video only, with no premises in Ireland. A learner needs a laptop or desktop, working sound and a steady connection, and the number shown here belongs to India. ### What do coding classes in Swords cost? The first lesson is free. After that a shared place costs USD 100 a month and brings two live lessons a week, about eight monthly, with five to ten learners; one to one on the same schedule is USD 150 a month. Everything is agreed before payment. ### How many learners are in a group? Five to ten, grouped by ability, pace and goal rather than age or address. Where nothing suitable meets at a workable hour, we teach one to one instead.
