CSO ethnicity results: 70% of Travellers settled

IRELAND’S Asian residents are more likely to be Catholic than Muslim, while most Travellers live in houses or flats, according to the latest results from last year’s Census.

The census has revealed almost 60% of Asian people in the country live in Dublin, in addition to 47.7% of those who described their ethnicity as black or black Irish.

Yesterday the Central Statistics Office (CSO) published its latest findings, focussing on ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
