An interactive map, compiled using data from the International Organization for Migration, has tracked migrants around the world. Published by the World Bank in 2010, the map shows the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada as being Ireland’s top choices.
It is hoped that The “Where We’re From” app, hosted by IOM.int, will evolve to be “individual migration flow maps on the IOM’s country pages.”
Here’s the top ten places the Irish were living in 2010:
UK: 422,569
USA: 137,537
Australia: 63,593
Canada: 26,041
Spain: 17,162
Germany: 16,044
New Zealand: 7,534
France: 6,056
The Netherlands: 4,306
Belgium: 3,999
