It was administered by the Central Statistics Office of Ireland and found the population to be 4,588,252 people.[1] Before the census, the latest population estimate was published in September 2010 and calculated that the Irish population had been 4,470,700 in April 2010.[2] The previous census took place five years earlier, on Sunday, 23 April 2006.[3] The subsequent census took place five years later, on 24 April 2016.[4]
