This dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify usual residents aged 3 and over in Northern Ireland who can speak Irish by frequency of speaking Irish. The estimates are as at census day, 21 March 2021.

The census collected information on the usually resident population of Northern Ireland on census day (21 March 2021). Initial contact letters or questionnaire packs were delivered to every household and communal establishment, and residents were asked to complete online or return the questionnaire with information as correct on census day. Special arrangements were made to enumerate special groups such as students, members of the Travellers Community, HM Forces personnel etc. The Census Coverage Survey (an independent doorstep survey) followed between 12 May and 29 June 2021 and was used to adjust the census counts for under-enumeration.

Please be advised that there are issues with the Small Area boundary dataset generalised to 20m which affect Small Area 268014010 in Ballygall D, Dublin City. The Small Area boundary dataset generalised to 20m is in the process of being revised and the updated datasets will be available as soon as the boundaries are amended. This feature layer was created using Census 2016 data produced by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) and Small Areas national boundary data (generalised to 20m) produced by Tailte Éireann. The layer represents Census 2016 theme 3.1, population aged 3+ by ability to speak Irish. Attributes include population breakdown by ability to speak Irish (e.g. yes, no, not stated). Census 2016 theme 3 represents Irish Language. The Census is carried out every five years by the CSO to determine an account of every person in Ireland. The results provide information on a range of themes, such as, population, housing and education. The data were sourced from the CSO. The Small Area Boundaries were created with the following credentials. National boundary dataset. Consistent sub-divisions of an ED. Created not to cross some natural features. Defined area with a minimum number of GeoDirectory building address points. Defined area initially created with minimum of 65 – approx. average of around 90 residential address points. Generated using two bespoke algorithms which incorporated the ED and Townland boundaries, ortho-photography, large scale vector data and GeoDirectory data. Before the 2011 census they were split in relation to motorways and dual carriageways. After the census some boundaries were merged and other divided to maintain privacy of the residential area occupants. They are available as generalised and non generalised boundary sets.
