In 2005, out of a total of more than 1.1 million people who were granted legal residency, only 2,088 were Irish.

This is sad.

Frankly, relative to population, this is a huge number of Irish. Irish are 7 million out of 7 billion or 1 in 1000. Apparentely, in 2005, they go 1 out of 500 green cards.
