Really though, Ireland breeds emigrants. Of course most people don’t leave as such but in my life there most people have _wanted_ to.

Why does the data to Australia only start in 2008? I was there in 2005 and half of ireland was there already. Seems like an accounting problem

Quite interesting to see that Ireland has had a large amount of non-EU immigration since Covid. Or is it a continuation of a disrupted trend that started a decade ago?
The UK has also had a boom in non-EU immigration, which I had assumed was due largely to post-Brexit policy changes, but maybe it’s a trend among remaining EU members as well.
Also of note – a spike in EU immigration after the expansion eastwards, and also a prolonged increase in emigration after the financial crisis.

How is immigration counted? Is that really the number of Aussies in Ireland, or is that just Irish returning after their Aussie working holiday visa is over?
Edit: saw your comment. Makes sense. Most of the Aussies are just returning Irish then
