Census 2022: The stats and figures with Conor Halpin and Jill O'Mahony

Figures published from the Central Statistics Office today from last year's Census shows Ireland's population has reached over five million people. It is the first time in 171 years that Ireland's population exceeded the five million threshold. There’s also been a decline in the number of those calling themselves Catholic, while there’s been a sharp rise in those working from home.
