Note: The survey covered households with at least one person aged 16-74, and individuals aged 16-74. The main reference period was the first quarter of 2011. Households were asked about internet access by any member of the household at home. Individuals were asked about frequency of internet use and about activities they had carried out on the internet in the last three months prior to the survey for private purposes, or in the last twelve months for e-government and e-commerce activities, at home or at any other location.

The research was reported in the Irish media and the headline that captured attention was that mMore than one-in-five Irish people aged 16-74 have never used the internet (down from 42% of Irish people in 2006).

The Digital Agenda for Europe aims to reduce the share of individuals in Europe who have never used the internet to 15% by 2015.
