爱尔兰人,狭义上指爱尔兰共和国的公民,广义上来讲是自古居住在爱尔兰岛上的人们。广义的爱尔兰人属于凯尔特(Celtic)人种。爱尔兰岛分为两部分,南部是爱尔兰共和国,北部是北爱尔兰,由英国统治。但无论南北,都属于广义的爱尔兰人。爱尔兰人大部分信仰天主教,北爱尔兰有部分人信仰英国国教。

- ^ The 2006 Australian Census reports 1.9 million people of Irish ancestry in the 2001 Census. Up to two ancestries could be chosen. Recent increases in the number who identify as Australian suggest that this number is an underestimate of the true number with Irish ancestry. With that being said, the number claiming Irish ancestry from the previous census actually more than doubled. One reason, an improved image of what it means to be Irish according to the census experts, making Australians more proud to state their Irish ancestry. Also the Australian Embassy in Dublin states that up to 30 percent of Australians have some degree of Irish ancestry.[1].
