    Well by the time we'd get to 8 million, we'd have a spud famine and be reduced back to 4 million.

    8 mill thats the limit

    I think we'll be fine unless there is a simultaneous couscous blight.

    Well India has a population of 1 billion, and they aren't the best. Quality, not quantity ;)

    I read somewhere that if the famine had never happened, we'd have a population nearer the 30 million mark for the whole island.

    It would have to have been closer to that to have stayed in line with englands.

    Famine:
    Ireland 8 million +
    England 11-12 million

    Now
    Ireland Pushing 6 Million
    England Pushing 55 Million

    Well we'd have one of the highest population density in the world bar the likes of hong kong and monaco

    so it's be pretty much one massive city across the entire country with 1100 people living in every sq km with 5 times the populatin density of dublin in every square inch of the country... now seeing as there's hardly too many people going to live on the side of croagh patrick and carrontuhill we can image the mess there'd be...

    holy christ - we'd be f***ed with the city planning we'd experienced in this country...

    Dont think it would be that bad, get a few lads to build a city in the middle of nowhere and dump 20 million in there, whats to say ye cant have 200, 200 story apartment blocks? Built on top of an underground road and rail network. Then knock down Dublin and start again "properly" Then repeat as needed! :D

    the population density of county dublin roughly 1300 people per sq km, there are still plenty of green areas in county dublin, get a few miles from o'connell street (e.g south of swords) and there plentiful green fields, cows etc
