Ireland white minority from 96% in 2001 to 76% in2025

 

Ireland was highly homogeneous around 2001, with foreign-born residents at about 4% and White Irish comprising roughly 94-96% of the population per census and Eurostat data.

 

By 2025, the foreign-born share reached 23.3% (over 1.26 million people) according to CSO and Eurostat figures, with White Irish at approximately 76-77%, confirming a major shift shown in the post’s video chart and street footage.

 

It's impossible for me to accept what is happening to Ireland. 

 

25 years ago we were essentially homogeneous, now we're on the way to becoming the minority in our own country.
