A new report reveals that most of Ireland's 16,000-strong Roma population is employed and considers themselves Irish citizens. The data highlights that a majority of Roma reside in Dublin and Cork, with a higher employment rate compared to the general population. While educational attainment is lower on average, Roma individuals are more likely to identify as Irish citizens than Romanian or Italian.

Educational achievement for the Roma community was lower, on average, compared to the general population. The rate of transfer from primary to second level for Roma children in 2022/23 was 89 per cent, higher than the rate for Travellers but lower than the general population . The Roma population includes almost 5,000 families which were bigger on average than families in the general population.
While a majority of those surveyed would be comfortable with their children being in the same class as a child from the Roma community, just over half said they would be comfortable living next door to a member of the Roma community.
