[Olog-hai]

Well, that’s 9,600 fewer liberals.

[dforest]

Oh good. We can ship them some more of these lunatics.

[Responsibility2nd]

Rosie O’Donnell is so fat. She makes up half of that 16%.

[bleach]

Islam is taking over the Emerald Isles. It’ll be the Emirate Isles before long. Rosie will look better in a burka.

[Harpotoo]

Best news eVah! Now they can die at the blade of a knives held by their beloved musscum brethren,-)

[Wuli]

We need to go to Ireland and find the good Irish sick and tired of their Lefty governments and offer them immediate work visas and stipends to move to the U.S.

[volare737]

Let’s hope even more Trump haters go there!

[Salman]

Gotta admit. We're not sending our best. { snicker }

[Robert DeLong]

Goodbye, We Won't Miss you. Send For all Your Close Friends Who Share Your Stupidity To Follow

Is that a headcount or by weight?

Because Rosie O’Donnell is a pretty big girl. They might have counted her as two.

My grandmother was from Ireland. Left when she was 19. Married my grandfather who was from Scotland. He was a bit older.

They loved it here. They did love their countries but the standard of living did not compare with the U.S. and they became good U.S. citizens.

If people want to go back, fine, go back but I think they will find the U.S. still superior in the standard of living.

[know.your.why]

96% of nothing is still nothing.

[Orosius]

“the remaining 63,600 were from other countries”

I’m guessing those other countries aren’t Denmark and Finland.

[Da Coyote]

Good, they get more antisemites, haters, dorks, and economic illiterates. Ireland is doomed in any case.

[Robert DeLong]

In reality is, we aren't sending anyone. They are getting what they are getting, by their own choice. But we are talking about Ireland, which doesn't have the brightest citizens in the world, in my opinion.

The potato famine will prove to not be your darkest period in history, Ireland. You are in it right now, and I'm afraid for you, and also sorry & sad to witness it.

[Bernard]

UP to 9,600? That's a HUUGE number, unless you compare it to something like EV sales.

> By the by, does this story about Americans moving to Ireland have any relation to other stories about reduced alcohol sales in the US?

[BenLurkin]

No wonder Ireland is going into the toilet.

[old school]

I’ve been around the world and I can safely say that there is no place like the good ole U.S.A.!

American Exceptionalism, (for those who know what that means), is real.

You’re a fool if you doubt it!

[kaktuskid]

Tell the Irish they can’t drink and it will make “The Troubles” look like a pillow fight.

[brookwood]

“there was a 96% surge in the numbers coming from the US as 9,600 came to live in Ireland, “
Hmmm, I wonder if those coming from the US to Ireland happened to be living in the US illegally??? That would explain everything!! 4,000 Irish “visitors” with expired visas most likely.
