    Abstract

    Central Statistics Office (CSO) initial releases from the 2011 Census show that the number of Irish residents born outside Ireland continues to increase and stood at 766,770 in 2011, accounting for 17 per cent of the population. The largest increases related to Romanian (up 110 per cent), Indian (up 91 per cent), Polish (up 83 per cent), Lithuanian (up 40 per cent) and Latvian (up 43 per cent) nationals. The number of non-Irish nationals, increased by 124,624 persons, or 30 per cent, to 544,357. Regarding ethnicity, significant increases occurred within most of the non-Irish ethnic groups, with ‘Other White’ rising by almost 43 per cent between 2006 and 2011. An 87 per cent rise in the ‘Other Asian’ group included persons of Indian and Filipino origin, with a rise of eight per cent more persons of stated Chinese ethnicity. Inward migration to Ireland by non-Irish nationals in the year to April 2011 was 33,674 (significantly less than Census 2006 when 93,200 were recorded) and from a large selection of countries, primarily Poland (3,825), UK (4,549), France (1,777), Lithuania (1,706), Spain (1,606) and the USA (1,563).
