Immigration Influx

Ireland has always been a nation of emigration—our people have built futures in every corner of the world. But now, for the first time in history, Ireland has become a destination. Immigration is at an all-time high, while emigration continues to pull away some of our best and brightest. What happens when a country built on leaving becomes a country of arrivals?

This episode explores the realities of modern Ireland—the brain drain hollowing out our institutions, the influx of new cultures, and the government’s complete lack of a strategy. Is Ireland thriving, or just barely staying afloat? Is multiculturalism working, or are we drifting into parallel societies? And most importantly, who is actually shaping Ireland’s future?

🔹 The famine that started the great Irish exodus
🔹 The brain drain: why our best minds are leaving
🔹 The influx: why people are coming, and why it feels different
🔹 The myth of automatic assimilation—does it actually happen?
🔹 The government’s grand social experiment (or total lack of a plan)

A future is coming. The only question is: will Ireland get to decide it?
