I mentioned briefly that a lot of people born in Britain living here are probably retirees as they're spread differently to other migrant groups concentrated in the cities. This map shows you where they live.
The legend tells you the darkest red regions have a British born population of between 3.9% and 19%. You have to click on the areas to reveal exact figures. Choose a layer in the top right first.
I'll assume the concentration in the western border counties are mostly Irish people born in the north.
You can see it's almost like the cities of Dublin, Cork and Limerick have a magnetic force around them repelling British people. None of them want to live there.
Aside from Wicklow and Wexford, there's a heavy preference for the west of Ireland and there's a thick concentration on the Cork & Kerry coast.
You can't throw a stone down there without hitting an old hippy from England. They go there to gaze off the edge of the known world, and then there's nothing to return to. The Ian Bailey types.
