Please clarify[edit]

"According to the 2006 census, there are 31,153 people in Galway city who say they speak Irish....There are 1,500 Irish speakers in the city area." What does this mean? If there are 1,500 Irish speakers does that mean there are nigh on 30,000 people lying about their ability to speak Irish? I assume "Irish speakers" is supposed to mean "as a first language", but that is in no way explicit. danno_uk 00:16, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Updated stats[edit]

I’ve reorganised the statistics and put in proper citations, but there was one I couldn’t find at all in my source so I’ve removed it. The (quite small, mostly lake) Electoral Division is Gaillimh an Tuath “Galway Rural” which appears on the OSI map with ED_ID 67098. The details are below — I could not find any result in the study which reported 34 speakers, so it must be from some other source (Census data?).

# Gaillimh an Tuath (34) (2%)
