Natural resources

In addition to minable zinc and lead ore deposits, there are small reserves of lithium, tungsten, barite and gold. The zinc and lead ore deposits are among the richest in Europe. Mining has taken place near Navan north of Dublin since 1977, in Galmoy since 1997 and in Lisheen since 1999 (closed in 2009 and 2016 respectively). Ireland has extensive peat deposits, which are mainly used for briquette production (domestic fuel), fertilizer production and energy generation (power plants). In 2017, 5.3% of households still used peat for (climate-damaging) heating. The amount of peat extracted was 3.5 million t in the same year.

Population

The population is predominantly of Celtic descent. The share of non-Irish people was 11.8% in 2017.

English is the general lingua franca. Irish, a Celtic language, is subsidized by the state and is also an official language, but is only spoken by around 2% of the (2019) 4.9 million residents every day. In contrast, almost 40% of those surveyed in the 2016 census stated that they could communicate in Irish. Many public signs and information are bilingual.

Ireland is one of the classic emigration countries in Europe. From the peak of the population (around 6.5 million people lived in the area of ​​what is now the Republic of Ireland in 1841), the number of residents had continuously declined to 2.82 million in 1961 due to poor living conditions, as a result of which over 1 million people died and 2 million people emigrated, most of them to the United States.

Another wave of emigration followed after the Second World War. Between 1951 and 1961, around 40,800 people emigrated annually, mainly to Great Britain. Through state-sponsored industrialization There was a reversal of the trend in 1971–79 (annual immigration gain around 13,600 people). Combined with strong natural population growth, Ireland’s population increased by 15.3% in 1971-81. A deterioration in the economic situation and the resulting high unemployment (1987: 19.2%) caused the number of emigrants to rise again in 1981-91 (annual migration losses of around 20,600 people). With the gradual improvement of the economic situation from 1991, the population grew by 11.1% until 2002. The balance of migration, which only slipped into negative territory during the global economic and financial crisis (from 2007), totaled +4.0 per 1,000 residents (2017). The population density is currently over 70 residents per km ². Almost a quarter of the population lives in the urban agglomeration of Dublin.

The papers with the highest circulation include “Irish Independent” (founded in 1905), “The Irish Times” (founded in 1859) and the Irish editions of the British tabloids “Daily Mirror” and “The Sun”. There are also around 50 regional and local newspapers, mostly weekly.

Ireland has around 40 TV channels, six of which are Irish-speaking. The public broadcaster Raidió Teilefís Éireann (RTÉ) broadcasts two television programs. The Irish-language broadcaster “Teilefís na Gailge”, founded in 1996, was renamed “TG 4” in 1999 and has been independent since 2007. The only private television channel since 1998 has been »TV 3«. In addition to the Northern Irish “UTV” (“Ulster Television”), numerous British cable, satellite and pay TV programs can be received. In addition to the nine radio programs broadcast by RTÉ (including the Irish-language “Raidió na Gaeltachta”) there are several private broadcasters, of which only “Today FM” is broadcast nationwide.
