Ireland: Facebook English Speaking Demographics

Happy St. Patrick's Day
Top o’ the mornin’ to  ya, and welcome to part four of our Facebook English Speaking Demographic Series. Yesterday, we dug into the different ways English Speaking Facebookers in the United Kingdom self-identify. Before that, we took in the big picture with Population Graph: Where Are Facebook English Speaking Users?, a comprehensive chart featuring Facebook stats from the top 60 countries that name English as an official language.

Today we’re heading to the Emerald Isle, where, as of May 19th, 2010, there were 1,486,720 English Speaking lads and lasses on Facebook. What do you say we have a look-see at what they’re up to?
