Population

Ireland’s population of 4,203,000 is growing at a rate of 1.12%due to an increase in immigration. Although some Irish move to Britain, the United States, or Australia, a large number of Irish and not Irish people are staying in or coming to Ireland to secure employment. More than one in three people live in the metropolitan Dublin area. But about 61% of the population lives in urban areas, the people of Ireland are Celtic.
