Ireland: share of daily internet user, by age

In 2020, 98 percent of users in Ireland between 16 and 24 years used the internet on a daily basis. Furthermore, 99 percent of people between the age of 25 and 34 used the internet daily so the survey. 97 percent of people between 35 and 44 also used the internet daily. The share of people between 45 and 54, as well as between 55 and 64 were lower than among the other age groups, with 88 percent of the first, and only 71 percent of the oldest age group using the internet daily.
