The Population and Migration Estimates publication for 2023 include revised usual residence estimates for the years 2017 to 2022 (i.e. the period between Censuses). This revision process involved a thorough analysis of the final detailed Census results. It should be noted that the people from households that were temporarily absent outside Ireland on Census night are included in the 2022 data for the first time. Inward migrant figures have also been adjusted upwards for 2022 to account for those beneficiaries of the Temporary Protection Directive who would have arrived in April 2022.
