In 2006, there were 133,000 (info shown rounded to nearest thousand)

On TV tonight, it was stated that 25 farm families leave the land every week. Being TV, it could be an exaggeration.
Many farms are run part-time, with the farmers' main income coming from a regular job elsewhere. Researching this answer, I discovered that a substantial number of farms are 20 acres or less. There are also some with hundreds of acres. If you mean viable farms, the figures quoted would be a lot less. |

depends what context you mean.
my grandmother owns a farm, in rural tipperary, she owns the feilds, the sheds, and the farmhouse, and she used to be a dairy farmer. its a farm but not a running farm.
there are thousands of 'farms' in ireland. not so many fully working. in my grandmothers area, this is the same.
onethe main industries in ireland is still agriculture, and most people, certainly in the older generations know some farming knowledge. my mother as one of them, and shes in her 50's. she knows how to milk a cow, use a plough, and grow garden crops like potatoes and carrots and stuff. ireland is good as an agricultural country, one of the few developed countries that are still.
and back to the question, it really depedns on what you mean, there are only 5.5 million people in ireland, and half of that live in and around dublin. |
