How many Irish people are there living outside Ireland?

According to estimates, there are approximately 70 million people with Irish heritage living outside of Ireland, including those with Irish ancestry in countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. However, it's important to note that this figure includes people with Irish ancestry, and not necessarily those who are Irish citizens or were born in Ireland.


Where do the Irish come from?

Many people say different things, some say from Iberia (northern Spain) as Gaels believed they were descendants of Milesians, sons of Míl Espáine. Others believe that the Irish descend from a sunken island off the west coast of Ireland, called Tír na nÓg or goes by many names like Hy Brasil. I tend to believe the second one. Recent DNA studies tend to support the first one, however.

Why do Irish people have Anglophobia?

The Irish do not have Anglophobia. There is a long history between Britain and Ireland and the British involvement in Ireland for over 800 years. As a result of that there are some people who do not like England. However, on a general basis Irish and English people get on well. Many Irish people live in England and many English people live in Ireland. When it comes to things like sport, Ireland likes to beat England, just like most countries in the world have another country they particularly like to beat, but it is all friendly rivalry. There are many misconceptions about Ireland and Britain's relationship and the situation in Ireland by those outside of Ireland, like people thinking there is a war in Ireland or between Ireland and Britain. So for the most part, the Irish do not hate the English.
