      Wonder if those fine go-getters who really believe Ireland is for the Irish are protesting against white Americans coming to live here….

    2. good, we’re still not a pre famine levels of population, we should be at 20 million people

      Great. They bring money, resourcing and are culturally close to us. They’re quite often Irish citizens to boot.

      9,600 out of 125,300 immigrants.

      Not exactly a flood of Americans when you put it into perspective

      Only ~3000 net of the figure for people moving to the US.

      I’d go if I could. It’s a bit of a disaster over here atm.

      “Of the immigrants, 31,500 were returning Irish citizens, 25,300 were other EU citizens, 4,900 were UK citizens and the remaining 63,600 were from other countries.”

      Would Americans with Irish passports be counted as returning Irish?

      I would if I could, as a Trinity graduate and licensed solicitor you’d think I could but it is much harder to get a visa than people would think

      On the one hand, yes people should flee a fascist regime which the US seems to be speed running towards. On the other hand, they overwhelmingly voted for it, so tough shit.

      Great! Can’t see any issue with it. Presumably these people are bringing wealth with them.

      We are very lucky to have such a rich and well-connected diaspora. Their experiences in Ireland and their connection with us are valuable.

      Look at Chuck Feeney, for example.

      Not a criticism on the Americans at all, but I’m from the North and was in Kerry last week there (great spot, lovely).

      And I got chatting to an auld American fella and his wife, and they had been living in Kerry for years. And the wife turned to my wife (from Antrim), and straight up told her she didn’t sound Irish. She wasn’t trying to be offensive, she had a look of genuine confusion on her. But it was certainly a lot to unpack, and I didn’t know where to start with explaining to her, least of all that I have friends who could have taken that in a very negative way.

      This is fantastic news! Hopefully, it will help all the €1,000,000+ houses like mine to soar in value. My Christmas wish is for my house to hit €1.25 Million,its only at €1.1 million at the moment,so please God, this will drive house prices into the stratosphere. Great news indeed! 😃 Thankyou Mr.Trump!
