Ireland is diversifying, says Dublin archbishop after census results
Archbishop Dermot Farrell said that direct comparisons between the 2016 and 2022 census figures on religion were ‘problematic.’
The Archbishop of Dublin said that census results released Tuesday show that Irish society is changing and diversifying.
But, he told The Pillar, while the proportion of people identifying as Catholic in Ireland fell by 10% between 2016 and 2022, changes to the census question may have helped drive the result.
