Number of E. Europeans in Waterford?

forfuxsake

Not a rant
but a genuine question

Does anybody have any idea how many Eastern Europeans are in Waterford?

Or any way in which I could research this?

Thanks:)

Probably your best and most up to date resource. The one report available though is a general overview from what I can see. The 26th of April reports probably contain what you are after.

I think that there is still a strong population of eastern europeans around. I remember back between 05-09 there was a lot more. The Polish pub Da Vincis used always be buzzing full of them. Nice guys the majority of them, I worked with a lot of them while in college working in shops etc, some of them still around after settling down but alot returned to Poland to work on the buildings.

Knowing Part I Census 2011 results population of:
- Ireland being 4 588 252
- Waterford City at 46 132

- Polish nationals in Ireland 122 585 (2.67%)
- Lithuanian: 36 383 (0.79%)
- Latvian: 20 593 (0.45%)
- Romanian: 17 304 (0.38%)
- Slovak: 10 801 (0.24%)
- Hungarian: 8 034 (0.18%)
- Czech: 5 451 (0.12%)
- Russian: 3 896 (0.08%)
- Ukrainian: 3 343 (0.07%)
- Estonian: 2 560 (0.06%)

You could roughly assume:

ca. 5% of Waterford City population (~2 320) is holding EE nationality
- Polish: ~1,232
- Lithuanian: ~363
- Latvian: ~208
- Romanian: ~175
- Slovak: ~111
- Hungarian: ~83
- Czech: ~55
- Russian: ~37
- Ukrainian: ~32
- Estonian: ~28

It will be interesting to see actual numbers, available Thursday week.

Not allot really is it? I work in retail and while you could assume that half (if not more) of the staff would have been Eastern European say 6/7 years ago we currently only have one girl and her English is impeccable and half has a waterford accent so that barely counts.

I thought it would have been closer to 5000 than 1000. I dont know any polish guys that have gone home at all. If anything they have moved up the ranks and are really settled.

The 2,300 figure mentioned sounds about right.
