I read this article https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2025/0826/1530216-cso-population-figures/
and wondered what this looked like over time. The figures include people moving back to Ireland which explains why it has been more coming than going in the past. But for probably 200 years there has been far more people moving to the US than the other way around from Ireland.

  2. B b b but Americans earn so much more money than Europeans and have such a great lifestyle and and and

  4. “But for probably 200 years there has been far more people moving to the US than the other way around from Ireland.”

    Though the reverse is true for the last 25 years it seems.

  5. Would Ireland having 290m fewer people have anything to do with it?

  7. I mean, I get it

    It seemed like an absolutely lovely place when I visited.

    I wouldn’t mind living there in the slightest!

  8. I studied abroad in Dublin, absolutely beautiful city. Very modern, very clean, very safe. Wouldn’t mind living there at all

  9. how is this affecting the Irish economy? i thought there was already a housing crisis?

  11. I know a couple who moved in 2022, one had Irish grandparents, so had a streamlined residency process, his partner came with.

  12. Ireland should build a wall in the Atlantic. The US aren’t sending us their best!

  13. I’m surprised that many Irish are still going to the U.S., actually, and that more are leaving lately than were leaving from 2000-2010!

  14. I just got back yesterday from visiting. Wonderful country.

  16. A significant proportion of Americans can potentially claim Irish citizenship via ancestry and it’s the only primarily English speaking EU country so it makes sense for Americans to move there.
