Clonard, Belfast

Clonard (Irish: Cluain Ard; meaning "High meadow") is an electoral ward of West Belfast. It is named after the local Clonard monastery. The ward was created in 1973 being carved out of the former Falls and Saint Anne's wards.

The current review of Local Government in Northern Ireland has proposed the abolition of the ward with most of its voters going to a new Springfield ward.
