Migration reversal: Why more Americans are now moving to Ireland
www.bbc.com

The number of Americans moving to Ireland last year was higher than the number of Irish people migrating to the US. Was this just a blip or the start of a more profound trend?

      From the numbers in that article it’s about 1 in every 2000 Americans going in 2025. Surprisingly high rates.

        9600 last year, so less than 1 in every 30000.

          That’s only to Ireland. It was 180,000 left the US in total.

          Further down it says:

          “at least 180,000 Americans” voluntarily left the US in 2025, which it said was a record high.
