The CSO's Internet Coverage and Usage in Ireland 2022 figures show that 94%
of internet users go online daily.
Of these, 43% use it all the time or nearly all the time, up eight
percentage points from 2021.
The CSO noted that almost all internet users surveyed, living in households
with children, used the internet every day or almost every day.
Students were the most frequent users of the internet in 2022 with 97% going
online at least several times a day.
The CSO said that household internet connectivity was highest for the Dublin
region at 97%, compared with the Border region (90%).
Of households in Dublin with internet access, more than nine in ten were via
fixed broadband (92%), compared with 77% in the Border region.
Of the 6% of households with no internet access, the most common reason
cited by 56% of those households was that they do not need the internet,
followed by lack of skills or knowledge (32%) 7% of households with no
internet also stated that broadband was not available in their area, the CSO
said.
The figures show that just 7% of people aged 16 years and older had never
used the internet. This was predominantly among older people where 45% of
persons aged 75 and over had never used the internet.
