Seems like not long ago the 5m figure was reached. Population really is flying up.
Go us! (well, not me, I’m not getting any. But go.. you guys!)

Lucky considering the numbers of Irish leaving Vs returning.
We’d be in a bad way in terms of services if it wasn’t for migrants picking up the slack
Edit: would be good to see a breakdown of average age of Irish population Vs non Irish. Suspect that stresses the point even more

23% increase in people over 65 in the country since 2019 is alarming, that’s such a ticking time bomb

78,000 increase in people, only 30,000 houses built per year. And this has been the pattern for many years. It’s not sustainable.

I was one who returned. Been waiting 6 months to get a driving test so I can purchase property in the countryside which is all I can afford. Each month I’m getting increasingly priced out of the market. Might need to leave again. Pretty disappointing.

This is an underestimate also.
Probably at least 100,000 people not counted. Maybe more.
Our population has already passed 5.5m.
In the EU we’ve passed the population of Slovakia and soon Finland.
We’ll pass Denmark and Bulgaria in a few years also.
