Managing Sameness and Difference: the Politics of Belonging among Irish-born Return Migrants from the United States

Contemporary immigration in Western countries spurs intense debates about immigrant–host society relationships, asking questions about who and what it means to belong in such immigrant-receiving societies. In the Republic of Ireland, the debate about belonging in the wake of large-scale in-migration during the ‘Celtic Tiger’ years placed the onus on newcomers to shed their ‘difference’ and conform to Irish society’s … Read More

Narratives of ‘Innocent Irish Childhoods’: Return Migration and Intergenerational Family Dynamics

There is growing recognition of the significance of circular and return migration in contemporary global migration flows.

From Developmental Ireland to Migration Nation: Immigration and Shifting Rules of Belonging in the Republic of Ireland

This paper considers how post-1950s Irish developmentalism fostered the economic, social and political acceptance of large-scale immigration following EU enlargement in 2004. It argues that economic imperatives alone cannot account for the national interest case for largescale immigration that prevailed in 2004. It examines the “rules of belonging” deemed to pertain to citizens and immigrants within the key policy documents … Read More

The Demographic and Socio-Economic Characteristics of Migrants, 1986 – 1996

Migration has long been a major feature of Irish demography. The most dramatic illustration of this is provided by the statistic that over two and a half million persons emigrated from the island of Ireland in the twenty-year period following the Famine of 1846/47 (The Commission on Emigration, 1948-1954). In the present century migration has also featured strongly, albeit at … Read More
