The Central Statistics Office, in conjunction with the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency, published a joint report in 2014 presenting census results for both Ireland and Northern Ireland. The report contained detailed information on cross border commuters.

There were 6,416 cross border commuters who travelled from Ireland to work in Northern Ireland, and a further 1,879 who commuted for study.

Census 2011 results also show there were 3,039 persons resident in Donegal who stated that their place of work was in Derry in April 2011.

Data concerning cross border travel from the 2016 census of population will be available in Profile 6 - Commuting in Ireland which will be published in August 2017.
