query: How many people live in Ireland?
passage: Demographics of the Republic of Ireland
The Republic of Ireland had a population of 4,757,976 at the 2016 census.[1]
passage: Modern Paganism
Census figures in Ireland do not provide a breakdown of religions outside of the major Christian denominations and other major world religions. A total of 22,497 people stated Other Religion in the 2006 census; and a rough estimate is that there were 2,000–3,000 practicing pagans in Ireland in 2009. Numerous pagan groups – primarily Wiccan and Druidic – exist in Ireland though none is officially recognised by the Government. Irish Paganism is often strongly concerned with issues of place and language.
