===Current era=== The native language of most Dubliners today is English, and several local dialects are subsumed under the label [[Dublin English]]. Dublin also has many thousands of habitual Irish speakers, with the [[2016 census of Ireland|2016 census]] showing that daily speakers (outside the education system) numbered 14,903. They form part of an urban Irish-speaking cohort which is generally better-educated than monoglot English speakers.<ref>{{cite web| publisher = Central Statistics Office | work = Census of Population 2016 | title = Profile 10 Education, Skills and the Irish Language |url = https://www.cso.ie/en/releasesandpublications/ep/p-cp10esil/p10esil/ilg/ | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20201208225214/https://www.cso.ie/en/releasesandpublications/ep/p-cp10esil/p10esil/ilg/ |archive-date=8 December 2020 }}</ref> The Dublin Irish-speaking cohort is supported by a number of Irish-medium schools. There are 12,950 students in the Dublin region attending 34 [[gaelscoil]]eanna (Irish-language primary schools) and 10 [[Gaelcholáiste|gaelcholáistí]] (Irish-language secondary schools).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gaelscoileanna.ie/files/Education-through-Irish.pdf|title=Education through the Medium of Irish 2015/2016|year=2016|publisher=gaelscoileanna.ie|access-date=1 January 2018|archive-date=1 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180101135552/http://www.gaelscoileanna.ie/files/Education-through-Irish.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref> Two Irish language radio stations, [[Raidió Na Life]] and [[RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta]], have studios in the city, and the online station [[Raidió Rí-Rá]] broadcasts from studios in the city. A number of Irish language agencies are also located in the capital. {{Lang|ga|[[Conradh na Gaeilge]]}} offers language classes and is used as a meeting place for different groups.{{citation needed|date=December 2023}} The closest Gaeltacht to Dublin is the [[County Meath]] [[Gaeltacht]] of [[Ráth Cairn]] and [[Baile Ghib]] which is {{convert|55|km|0|abbr=on}} away.
