According to the CSO the Irish population is on course to increase by a further 2 million by 2051.The Central Statistics Office said if the high fertility and migration rates continue, then the country’s population will balloon to 6.69 million by 2051.The latest Census figures showed that the population stood at 4.74 million in April 2016.As you will see from the figures below, based on existing figures of Births, Deaths and Immigration, by 2051 the number of Ethnic Irish will have reduced slightly from today's figures whilst the Immigrant population will boom. However to meet the 6.69 Million targets nearly 1.6 Million more migrants will have to be imported into Ireland.Population of Ireland 2016 CensusThose who identify with being IrishEthnic IrishIrish TravellersOther White NationalitiesBlack or Black Irish/AfricanOther Black BackgroundsAsian/ChineseOther AsianNationality Not statedNon-Ethnic Irish =Ethnic Irish including TravellersThose who identify with being Irish White BackgroundPopulation of Ireland 2016 CensusEthnic White Irish people isIrish TravellersOther White BackgroundsAfricanAccording to statistics by the CSO the current population of Black Africans dropped by 0.3% between 2011 and 2016, It would be wrong to consider this group to continue falling so we will add a modest 1% Growth which is in line with other nationality growth rates in IrelandAny Other Black backgroundChineseAny Other Asian Background Growth Rate =Mixed Race, Growth Rate =Non-Ethnic Irish =Ethnic Irish including TravellersNon-Ethnic Irish =Ethnic Irish including TravellersIt's also useful to note that these figures are only estimates and are based on accurate census figure returns.
