Emigration Figures To UK Rise 25%
2010 figures released this week highlight a 25% rise in the number of Irish people moving to live in the UK.
The rise marks the biggest increase in emigration to Britain in more than ten years.
Around 14,000 Irish people moved to the UK last year, the majority fitting the 18-34 age bracket.
The figures are as a result of Ireland's economic situation and high unemployment rates.
London remains the most popular destination, followed by Edinburgh in Scotland.
The benefits included: the cities close proximity; the lack of visa requirement; and lack of cultural differences.
