Officially yes , but we still use imperial when we measure a persons height/weight , distances we use both (depends who you talk to) size of a room could be measured in either to , that would come down to age , generally speaking metric is getting more and more the norm due to the younger generation learning metric in school , I would say that maybe in about 20 years will will be fully metric , we are about half and half right now |

Actually ireland went metric in 1971 with, we held off till 2005 to change the speed limits to metric.
The metric system is a much better system, we should try to use it more as the imperial system is an antiquated dinosaur |

Yes, we use both systems correctly.
We also use other systems, such as imperial weights & measures, driving on the left and answering the question we are asked (as opposed to the one people think they asked). |
|
Why When How
|
yes but many people still use the imperical system for weights, heights and distance in Ireland |
|

Yes, but they went metric in January 2005 so a lot of people still talk in miles, pounds and feet. |
|
OMG
|
metric system since 2005 at the cost of 58,000 road signs and celcius yes. |

Yes, it's the standard in Europe and most of the industrialized world. The US uses non-metric as well as metric (for scientific and shipping purposes) |
