These numbers are hardly a record Irish Exodus. My ancestors came here in Black 47 with a million + between 1846 -1855.

RE: with a million + between 1846 -1855.


It took over a million in nine years then.

It obviously isn’t as bad today as it was then.

At the rate of 1,000 leaving Ireland a week ( current figures ), it will take 20 years to reach the 1 million number.

Hopefully, Ireland will have fixed whatever financial problems she has then ( or will she ?).
