Muslims and mosques in Ireland
Ireland's Muslim population is small but one of the fastest-growing in Europe. The census counted 3,873 Muslims in 1991, 19,147 in 2002, about 49,000 in 2011, 63,443 in 2016 and 81,930 in 2022, so the community has multiplied more than twenty times in thirty years (growth of 394% between 1991 and 2002, 151% by 2011, 32% to 2016 and 29% to 2022) and is now over 1.5% of the population. In 1991 Muslims were 0.1% of the Republic's population and by 2011 they were 1.1%. In 2016, 47.3% of Irish Muslims lived in County Dublin, divided between Dublin City (15.5%), South Dublin (13.1%), Fingal (12.8%) and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown (5.9%). The 2022 census counted 37,458 Muslims in Dublin and its suburbs, 4,535 in Cork, 3,394 in Limerick, 2,367 in Galway and 2,084 in Waterford.
The community has changed in character. In an earlier count of 31,779 Muslims, just over 55% were Asian or African nationals (10,649 Asian and 6,909 African) and 30.7% held Irish nationality (9,761). Documented history starts in the 1950s, when Muslim students came to study in Ireland, and the Dublin Islamic Society was formed by students in 1959; it later became the Islamic Foundation of Ireland.
Ireland's first mosque and Islamic centre opened in 1976 on Harrington Street in Dublin and moved to South Circular Road in 1983. The first purpose-built mosque in the country is the one in Ballyhaunis, County Mayo, completed in 1987. The Islamic Cultural Centre of Ireland is in Clonskeagh, Dublin, and the Irish Council of Imams was established in September 2006 and represents 14 Sunni and Shia imams. Altogether the country has about 18 Sunni, 3 Shia and 2 Ahmadiyya mosques or centres and 11 prayer halls, two of the Sunni centres being in Northern Ireland.
For prayer times, Ireland lies between about 51.4 and 55.4 degrees north, so in June twilight never fully ends and Fajr and Isha are set with a high-latitude rule. On this site's calculation the fast from Fajr to Maghrib in Dublin lasts about 18 hours on 21 June and 9 and a half hours on 21 December. Ireland uses Greenwich Mean Time in winter and Irish Standard Time (UTC+1) in summer. The community comes from many countries, so Ramadan and Eid may start on different days at neighbouring mosques, and congregation times are set by each mosque.

Prayer times in Ireland: common questions
How many cities in Ireland does Awqatly cover?
43 cities and towns in Ireland. Every one has its own page with today's prayer times, the next prayer, a monthly timetable and the qibla direction.
How are prayer times calculated in Ireland?
For each city we use its own latitude, longitude and time zone with the Muslim World League method (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) and Standard Asr. These are the astronomical start times of each prayer.
Which Asr time does Ireland use?
We show Standard Asr first for Ireland, and every city page also shows the other school so you can choose. The difference is the length of the shadow that marks the start of Asr.
Do the times change during the year in Ireland?
Yes. The sun's path shifts every day, so every prayer moves a little daily. The gap between Fajr and Maghrib is longest in summer and shortest in winter, and more so the further a city is from the equator.
Are these times the same as my local mosque's timetable?
These are the start times of each prayer. Mosques publish congregation (jamaat) times, usually a few minutes to an hour later, and some add safety minutes. We do not publish congregation times, so check with your mosque.
How do I find the prayer times for my city in Ireland?
Choose your city from the lists on this page, search for it, or allow your location on the home page. A city page shows today's times, a monthly timetable, the qibla and the mosques nearby.
