Census Statistics Show Dublin City Holds Highest Number Of Immigrants
A breakdown of the latest census statistics have shown that two-thirds of the population of the area around O’Connell Street, at the centre of Dublin City, is made up of people born outside Ireland.
The electoral division in and around the GPO and O’Connell Street has the highest percentage of people born abroad living in any area in Ireland, with almost 70 per cent of the population of the North City electoral division born outside Ireland.
The electoral division, bordered by the Liffey to the south and Parnell Street to the north, has a population of 5,345 according to the latest census, which was carried out in April 2011.
It is one of six areas in Dublin city centre where the non-Irish resident population now stands at more than 50 per cent, according to an in-depth breakdown of figures from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) census by the All Island Research Observatory, a research unit and interactive spatial data portal based at NUI, Maynooth.
The Rotunda B electoral district, which takes in part of Parnell Street, the Rotunda maternity hospital and part of Dorset Street Upper, has the second highest immigrant population. Almost 61 per cent of its 2,439 residents were born outside the State.
The immigrant population in the neighbouring Rotunda A district is 52.3 per cent.
The 2011 census showed almost a third of people born outside Ireland live in Dublin. There are now 218,653 non-Irish born nationals living in Dublin, meaning one in five people living in the capital was born abroad. Despite this, some parts of the city and county remain almost entirely Dublin-born.
