Ireland's population tops the 5 million mark
Ireland's population has gone above 5 million people for the first time since the Great Famine, census figures show.The proportion of the Irish population who identified Catholic fell from 79% in 2016 to 69% in 2022, but it was argued that this could be partly due to the change in the phrasing of the census question.
The population in every county rose between 2016 and 2022, and those increases ranged from between 5% in counties Donegal, Kilkenny and Tipperary, to 14% in Co Longford. Statisticians from the Central Statistics Office , who explained the results on Tuesday, said that there was evidence of an aging population in the 2022 census results.
The number of people with dual Irish citizenship was 170,597, which represents a 63% increase from 2016.
