“Ireland is the Ultimate Victim Nation” – Brendan O’Neill
What was said
"“the statistics in Ireland are staggering. Around 20% of people in Ireland were born outside of Ireland. I mean, it is genuinely extraordinary.”"
Brendan O’Neill cites what he describes as striking statistics, saying around a fifth of Ireland’s residents were born outside Ireland. He adds that, in his view, this includes Irish-born-abroad people returning as well as other migrants, and he presents the figure as evidence of rapid demographic change.
