The Planning Authority uses the Tailte Éireann (OSI) / historical spelling of Kiltiernan in Local Area Plans (KGLAP). This was used in the previous Local Area from in 2007 and 2013.
Page 19 of the Chief Executive's report on the KGLAP Pre-Draft Consultation notes that the the spelling of Kiltiernan has varied over the years from as early as the 17th Century.
The Chief Executive's report includes a historical map of the area illustrating the 'Kiltiernan Domain' and 'Kiltiernan' place names on Tailte Éireann maps from the first edition of the 6inch map (1829-1841).
Contemporary mapping from Tailte Éireann retains this spelling if Kiltiernan.
