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.
To go through some of the numbers, Kieran was joined by Conor Halpin, senior statistician with the CSO and Jill O’Mahony, sociology lecturer at Southeast Technological University.
