Irish Towns with the highest percentage of non-nationals.
Ballyhaunis is No.1. It's been called the most diverse town in Ireland. (39.5% non-nationals listed)
The CSO list the largest non-Irish group as Polish.
In real terms, it has a much higher concentration of Muslims but that isn't reflected as they don't categorise by religion and they're from a range of nationalities. Many are born here or have citizenship so are recorded as 'Irish'.
Pakistani industrialist Mr Sher Mohammed Rafique imported the first Muslims to Ballyhaunis 48 years ago for his meat slaughtering operation. He closed up shop but they never went home. He predicted in 2004 they'd be 50% of the population soon due to their high birth rate.
Then they started dumping asylum seekers there.
The local national school, Scoil Íosa, has 28% 'white Irish' pupils among their roll of 322 children.
“The indigenous population is coming close to being the minority and the social cohesion of the town is under threat.”

This is clipped from a documentary RTÉ made on Gort in 2006. All the locals they interviewed are happy that their town is now, as one Brazilian put it, Brazil.
RTÉ aren't going to broadcast a contrary opinion, but maybe many were happy enough. Brazilians are a sunny people.
As the beef baron explains in this, he started importing them as cheap labour for the meat factories in the 90s.
The Brazilians are content as the money they earn is worth worth much more in Brazil, but Irish people have to compete with them for resources here.
It becomes a big problem in the cities where 24 of them are willing to pack themselves into a family-sized home to try to lower their overheads. Most here come in using the English school visa mills.
After five years they can apply for Irish citizenship. What happens if they go looking for an Irish pension and housing in retirement? The wage slavers & slumlords are just passing on these costs to the tax payer.
"Sure the Irish went everywhere."

A response to those people who use the argument that mass immigration into Ireland is ok because “The Irish went everywhere”:
1. We are the descendants of the Irish people who remained on this Island and didn’t emigrate. Why should we have to endure endless waves of immigration now just because other Irish people in the past went to other countries? What have their decisions got to do with us? That’s the same absurd logic as saying something like you’re guilty for a crime that an ancient ancestor committed centuries ago so you should be prosecuted for it today. It’s madness. Every ethnic and racial group on the planet deserves a place where they can call home and remain the majority there. We do not owe any other group our homeland.
2. The “Irish went everywhere” argument breaks down very easily considering it’s so obviously untrue. The Irish who did emigrate overwhelmingly went specifically to continental Europe or other European colonies; The UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand. It goes without saying that the mass exodus from 1845 to 1855 was to flee an actual genocide. The Irish didn’t go to the Third World in any significant numbers and yet we are now expected to be demographically overwhelmed by migrants from the Third World. How is this is in any way justified?
3. The Irish never went to any established nation where they would end up making the native population a minority in their own homeland. They did however travel to the aforementioned European colonies such as America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand where they would (like other European immigrant groups over the centuries) become a portion of the founding stock of those nations.
4. The Irish people were never asked if they wished for their country be exposed to the mass immigration of the past several decades. They certainly were never asked if they wished to potentially become a minority group in their own country as they have in certain parts of Ireland.
5. The Irish people have only one country to call their home. Unlike the economic migrants who have been permitted to come here in such unsustainable numbers over the past two decades, we do not have a place to go home to if we so choose. We have only this one small island of ours. And it is rapidly being transformed culturally and demographically into a place that is totally unrecognisable from the Irish Ireland it had been for thousands of years.
Finally I will conclude by clarifying that I am not against immigration into our country and I have no problem with law-abiding immigrants living and working here if there is a genuine economic benefit to the country. I am simply against uncontrolled mass immigration that creates a variety of social, cultural, demographic and economic issues. Mass immigration has caused a major compression of wages and drastically increased rent and house prices due to the inability for supply to meet demand. Immigration numbers should be small, manageable, carefully controlled and vetted and should never become so great as to radically alter the demographics of the nation. There must be an acceptance that the Irish as an ethnic group should remain the overwhelming majority of the population in Ireland. “Ireland belongs to the Irish” was not a controversial statement to make in 1916 and it should not be a controversial statement to make today either. Loving one’s homeland and wishing to preserve its culture, history, people and future is not hateful or bigoted. I believe every ethnic and racial group on the planet should feel the same way about their homeland also.

Average school day for a kid in Ireland:
👉🏻 Write your feelings down on a paper leaf and pin it to the feelings tree.
👉🏻 Get force-fed UN doctrine to regurgitate.
Big effort to get the voting age lowered here ahead of the 2024 local, European elections. They don't need a referendum.

There was some interest in a CSO live map I posted about (which is no longer operable) charting what percentage of each electoral division are foreign-born.
Looks like they're migrating the data to this new map system. It says it's a work in progress.
Currently they only have Dublin and the surrounding area charted.
You can click on an area and it will tell you the number and proportion which are foreign born. It doesn't break down how many were born outside the EU. The old one didn't either.
The legend shows what the different colour shades signify. I think the shade order should be reversed.
The areas around the city centre are in white telling you that the foreign-born comprise between 28.5% and 61% of the population in any division. That span difference is too large for one shade.
The darkest green areas signify that between 4.8% and 11.6% of the population are foreign born. Interesting that no areas have a foreign-born population smaller than 4.8%.

The shitlibs want to rename The Berkeley Library:
>Given the sheer irrelevance of West-Africans to Irish history, there is something deeply inauthentic about the left’s fetishistic attitude toward their history. Thus, it was a god-send when they discovered a connection between an “Irishman” and the trans-atlantic slave trade. “Finally, we have something to browbeat them with!”.
>The whole fiasco surrounding the Berkeley Library betrays the left’s ignorance of Irish history, and, specifically, the relationship between the native Gael and the Alien Protestant Ascendancy; a people both ethnically and religiously distinct from the natives – no, Gabi Fullam, the natives aren’t pygmies.
