‘Project Ireland 2040’ also brings up another possibly interesting issue. The Irish population is around 4.8million. Let’s assume that the indigenous population will decline to about 4million by 2040 because of the falling birth rate and a long history of native Irish emigrating to the UK and other English-speaking countries in search of new opportunities. Then, of the 5.8million who (the Irish government predicts) will be living in Ireland by 2040, around 1.8million – almost one in three – will be an immigrant, mostly from Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
Ludicrously, ‘Project Ireland 2040’ has nice pictures of rolling Irish countryside and happy white Irish families.
Given the likely make-up of the population, rather different images of the future Ireland might be more suitable.
I haven’t crunched the numbers. But I’m sure someone much smarter than myself can take Ireland’s current rate of immigration, the native Irish birth rates and the birth rates of the immigrant communities and work out the date by which the native Irish will be a minority in their own country.//
So the white Irish will be replaced by Africans and Asians.
