There were 81,930 people who identified as Muslim in 2022. This represents approximately 1.6% of the total population (5.1 million at the time). Even with growth, this remains a small minority.

Roughly 77% of the population identified as “White Irish.” If including “Other White” backgrounds (such as Polish or British citizens), the total white population is approximately 86-88%.
Recent CSO data (August 2025) shows that migration patterns are diverse and not dominated by any single group:
- In the year ending April 2025, approximately 25% of all immigrants were returning Irish citizens
- A significant portion of the non-Irish population consists of white citizens from the EU and UK
In 2000 the Muslim population was 0.5%, now it is 1.6%
Compare that to the USA. In 2000 the USA Mohammedan population was also 0.5% and now it is 1.4%
I can’t think of any country where Islamic immigration made it better. Why would it? Unless you are Islamic they hate you. If you are the wrong kind of Mozlem they hate you too. I was surprised that Mozlems murder more of each other over their evil religion than Infidels!
