2011 age profile

This short report presents data that arose from a short questionnaire sent to Dioceses in October 2011. It seeks to establish a snapshot of the age profile of the number of Diocesan priests currently in ministry (known in the report as simply priests) across the 26 dioceses of Ireland. It also provides a comparison with a similar survey of Dioceses completed in autumn 2007. Should you have any questions arising from these reports, please contact [email protected].
