The 2011 census of Ireland was held on Sunday, 10 April 2011. 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]

The 2011 census was held during the same year as the 2011 United Kingdom census in which the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency administered a census of Northern Ireland, covering those areas of the island that are not part of the Republic of Ireland.
