Breakdown of nationality nos in Ireland

[sun_sparks]

Anyone any idea how you would get figures on how many nationalities, and how many of each nationality are in Ireland?

I know some figures were published in the Irish Times a couple of months ago, and can't locate them on the CSO web site.

Thanks!

... not sure when the 2006 census figures are released.

Many of the figures in that Irish Times "pullout" were from the 2002 census - so are probably way out by now.
For some reason I kept a copy of it !

The 2002 census figures were -
UK 101k
usa 11k
nigeria 8.5k
germany 7k
france 6k
china 5.75k
romania 5k
spain 4.3k
south africa 4k
philippines 7.75k

They also printed some figures about pps numbers issued since 2004 - which may be meaningless because these people may have gone back.

The figures were
115k - poland
34k lithuania
17k latvia
16k slovakia
8k czech


Based on pps figures and work permits and visa data the paper came up with guesses for the various nationalities living in Ireland as follows.

Polish 150k
Chinese 60k
Lituanians 45k
Latvians 30k
Nigerians 28k
British 25k (a lot lower than the 2002 census ??)
Americans 6k
romanians 5k
Philippines 5k
Pakistanis 4.5k

They also printed figures of Irish Abroad (this doesn't include 2nd and third generation)
In Canada - 28k
UsA 156k
UK 850k
Australia 75k
