Nearly 82,600 people (1.8% of the population) speak Irish every day outside of school according to the first definitive results of the 2011 Census. This makes it the third most used language in the country.
The Census figures, released by the CSO today, show that 119,526 of people in Ireland speak Polish at home while 56,430 speak French.
Meanwhile, 35% of people in Gaeltacht areas said they spoke Irish on a daily basis outside of the education system.
In addition to Irish and other languages, the Census recorded the standard of English among those who spoke foreign languages.
It found that those from Denmark had the highest ability, while people from Lithuania had the lowest.
Today's publication is the first of 13 reports on the Census results that will be published between now and the end of the year.
