Best Answer

There are over 6 times more people claiming Irish ancestry in the USA, than people living in Ireland. Claiming to be Irish-American is very subjective, as some may have Irish ancestry that is several generations back, like one great-great-great-grandparent, meaning their link to Ireland is very small. Others may have both parents that are Irish, giving them a much stronger Irish ancestry. The figures don't specify how far back the Irish ancestry is.
