    I would say the split is fairly even overall. The vast majority of Eastern Europeans would be under forty with many working in front line service industries with kids of school going age, this makes them a highly 'visible' demographic. The British would be somewhat older, more spread out age wise, would be more likely to have kids who look/sound Irish and have a wider range of jobs.

    Polish, Slovakian, Russian, Lithuanian etc... I know lots through extreme sports. No better people to use the natural amenities that Dublin and Ireland has to offer. Good family people, good outlook on life and great friends.

    Nope, all the brits are in Dublin. They love it there, it's just like home.

    I'm afraid you're wrong (again) about Dublin, and "the Brits'. :rolleyes:

    The last cencus found that only 16% of UK nationals live in Dublin and it's suburbs. Cork county tops the poll for UK nationals. I travel a good bit around Ireland and I have found this to be the case. I have lots of dealings with rural companies and deal with many UK management living in Ireland.

    All in all, it's not a bad thing on my level and dealings. Mostly positive and pleasant.

    A lot of older British and Irish people just have sort of posh well spoken accents. They dont really sound like theyre from anywhere in particular in britain or ireland, you would just know they were from somewhere in britain or ireland. So I think a lot of Elderly british people would pass as irish due to their neautral british accents

    This seems to be the message coming back, there are more British in Cork than in Dublin (which is the entirety of Ireland btw). Cork seems popular with them.
