One of the findings of the Census is that the proportion of the population who reported themselves to be Roman Catholic fell by 4 per cent to 69 percent between 2016 and 2022. 

The number of people with no religion also increased by 62 per cent to nearly three-quarters of a million (736,210), which represented approximately 14 percent of the population.

Newstalks' Chief Reporter, Barry Whyte  has been digging into the findings of today's census and joined Kieran to chat through some of the points that he has found interesting.

Kieran was also joined by Parish Priest in Fethard, County Tipperary, Father Iggy O'Donovan  and CEO of Humanist Association of Ireland, Jillian Brennan.
