Knowledge and use of Irish and Ulster-Scots in Northern Ireland 2024/25

These reports present analysis, including by demographic group and area, on the following topics:

• Current level of knowledge of the language
• Current usage of the language: at home and socially

Note: Data collection for the 2024/25 CHS was carried out using a mix of telephone and face-to-face interviewing modes, a similar approach to that used in 2022/23 and 2023/24. For 2020/21 and 2021/22 data collection was by telephone interviewing due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. There was also a reduction in the number of questions between 2020/21-2022/23. As a result, the figures from 2020/21 onwards are not directly comparable to previous years due to the significant changes to the survey in terms of methodology and content.
