Demographics
Ireland has been inhabited for at least 9,000 years, although little is known about the paleolithic or neolithic
inhabitants of the island. Early historical and genealogical records note the existence of dozens of different
peoples (Cruithne, Attacotti, Conmaicne, Eóganachta, Érainn, Soghain, to name but a few)
