Top spoken languages in Ireland with percentages?

Question

I need a list of the top spoken languages in Ireland with percentages. Thanks!

Answer 1

Really spoken, as a first language, or did a course? To give you some idea, there are 2,809 Gaelic speakers in County Cork. There are 6,243 in County Kerry. There are 7,050 in County Mayo and 906 in county Meath.



There are 30,000 Muslims living in Dublin



So I would say, mostly English, then Urdu, then Gaelic.

Answer 2

English is the most spoken language in Ireland, followed by Polish in second place, and Irish in third place.



Here, I found this on google: The Census found that 82,600 in Ireland speak Irish outside of school (where it is an obligatory subject). The CSO also reported that 119,526 speak Polish at home and 56,430 speak French. In Gaeltacht areas (Irish speaking areas) 35 percent of people speak Irish on a daily basis. In comparison to the last Census the number of Irish speakers is up by 7.1 percent with 1.77 million people saying they could speak Irish. This means 41.4 percent can actually speak the language but simply don't.

Answer 3

Go to the Central Statistics Office (CSO) website and you will find that information.
