The Irish Abroad

"The Irish Abroad" refers to people of Irish descent living outside Ireland. Historically, Ireland experienced significant emigration due to economic hardship, political issues, and global events, leading many to settle in countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada. This diaspora has contributed greatly to the cultural, social, and economic life of their new countries, while maintaining connections to Ireland through traditions, communities, and history. The concept highlights the enduring global identity of Irish people and their influence worldwide, reflecting both their Irish roots and their adaptation to diverse societies.
