DONEGAL PEOPLE ARE most likely to remain living in the county of their birth, according to new data released from last year’s Census.
The finding is just one of a range of geographic and societal nuggets released by the Census today.
In a series of releases that focused on population distribution and movement, the Census also found almost two-thirds (62.7%) of people living in Ireland live in urban areas.
Of those who do live in an urban area, 44% are living in Dublin.
Drogheda remains the biggest town in Ireland with almost 41,000 people normally resident there. Just behind are Swords and Dundalk with under 40,000 people.
The figures also looked at how people move around the State and where they settle.
The Census found that Meath (65.1%) had the greatest proportion of residents who were born outside the county.
Counties within commuting distance of Dublin generally have larger proportion of people born outside the county, as the below map illustrates.
The darker green areas have a larger proportion of people born in outside counties.
Cork city and county has the lowest proportion of people living there who were from outside. Just 25% of people living in Cork city and county were born outside the county.
People from Donegal are the most likely to stay in their county with just 13% of people born there morally resident in another county.
Overall, 75% of Irish people live in the county of their birth.
Given Ireland’s large coastline, it’s also no surprise that a lot of Irish people live near the sea. In fact, 40% of Irish people are within 5km of the coast. Closer still are the 40,000 people who live within 100m of the sea.

It’s like a bleedin episode of Simpsons
@Darren Boothman:
Southpark ya mean. Bye bye turd sandwich
@Darren Boothman:
Newstalk Drive in full damage limitation frenzy mode, fear-mongering, smearing Trump and outright lying. Going for Guinness book of records for using “racist” most times.
Irish mainstream media lie, are partial and biased all aimed toward their agenda of multicultural mass-immigration pushing.
@Darren Boothman:
“Hillary Clinton packed her trunk and said goodbye to The White House and off she went with a hump-thy hump Trump Trump Trump”!
@Darren Boothman:
It is actually exactly like the episode when Homer takes on Ray Patterson in order to take charge of garbage disposal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVoKVxRlzcY
Go away into some hole n never come out u witch
Except without the catch song..
Cry me a river
@ Warthog. Feck ya anyway , I can’t get the tune of nelly the elephant out of my head now , going to keep me awake
I’m just happy all this BS is coming to an end.
Unfortunately it’s only just begun….
@Tom Thumb:
Not one factual word about Hillary, her corruption and appalling actions in court viciously attacking a 12 yr old rape victim.
Irish media are poison, bye bye, your time is at an end.
@stevenocarroll: That thing about “attacking a 12 yr old rape victim” is utter rubbish and that is why the media don’t mention it. It is called being a lawyer and the only people who complain about it are the ones who don’t understand the justice system.
There is a cue of potential law suits lining up for trump…. not over yet.
@The Duke of Fluke: You need to stop with your pesky facts,as they have no place on here anymore. Mr Trump is now going to be the next POTUS and as you know,he hardly ever dealt in those pesky things.
Trumps first action as President should be to Pardon Julian Assange given how Wikileaks destroyed faith in Hillary Clinton and the Mainstream Media reporting of the news. The Alternative media have stamped their footprint all over this election, long may it continue!
@Super Ted: The Assange haters should support that, since he’ll then have absolutely no reason to avoid answering charges in Sweden.
@Super Ted: Are you endorsing that – pardoning a person for sexual assault just because he helped him win a political campaign?
If so that would be an utterly despicable and depressing way to start his term in office. (NB whether you think Assange is guilty or innocent is completely irrelevant here).
He should pardon Snowden too, but it won’t happen
@The Duke of Fluke:
Well if the States didn’t plan his extradition from Sweden…
Absolutely not!, Assange should be allowed to answer rape charges in Sweden without extradition to the U.S hanging over his head. In saying that, those allegations are a separate issue and have nothing to do with his role as a truth seeker & whistleblower.
In the mean time a pardon from an American president wouldn’t mean jacks to a judge in Sweden
Hillary finally decided to make a speech. The $250,000 cheque must have cleared at Clinton H.Q.
The jail sentence is going to be even more painful.
@Point Blank:
She’ll never even see a prison, let alone serve time in one
She’s a witch!
@Jon Mackey: careful now Jon, alleged witch. We need scientific proof. Maybe a trail in Salem. If she sinks she’s innocent but if she floats that indicates witchcraft. Simples
@Point Blank: Hillary has to quickly move to a country that doesn’t have an extradition treaty with the United States of America.
@John Wilson, She’s in luck, there might be a vacant room at the Equadorian Embassy in London soon. :-)
Poor auld Crooked Hillary. I’m sure there’s still a bonus cheque in the post from her employers in Saudi Arabia.
Well Clinton is the very definition of an establishment figure.
Even though he is a monster, the vote for Trump was a protest vote against the hated corporate owned establishment.
The Democrats need to end the corporate ownership of their party.
@Stiofain Murray:
Monster how?
Are you aware of Clintons actions and abuse of women and a 12 yr old girl. Her connections with pedophile rings in Haiti?
Obviously Irish journalists have not been doing their job, try listening to alternative media. That where the facts are.
@Stiofain Murray: Trump is very much a part of that corporate owned establishment. They picked the wrong candidate if they wanted a protest vote. There were other candidates besides Hilary and Trump
@Grey Beard:
You tell ‘em Grey Beard! You tell those Yanks that there’s more to Democracy in ‘Murca than the Blue and Red.
I am glad as 9 out of the top 10 weapon manufacturers in the world were supporting her, Saudi Arabia and Omar were really behind her, Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan were behind her as much of Wall Street was as well.
Many were put off in rural areas with her and her show bizz friends as well as many could see through the bull that Putin was behind her and even poisoned her was given out as an excuse once.
She did her best to blame Russia for the leaks, she couldn’t deny them so she hoped to transfer the attention from what they said to talking the whole time about Russia and that failed as well. Her fracking friends will leave her now and what will Monsanto do now, wanting to go into Ukraine to use their land to grow their GMO’s on???
@Alois Irlmaier: “I am glad as 9 out of the top 10 weapon manufacturers in the world were supporting her”
And their share prices shot up as soon as it was clear Trump would win – what does that tell you?
@Phil Blanc:
Unable to get out of your far-left mind bias and see the facts?
Hillary and Obama have PROVEN record of murdering Africans and M.Easterners. Hillary threatened ww3 with Russia and war with Iran if she became president.
You don’t really give a sh!!t about foreigners, you use them to push multiculturalism and mass-immigration but you don’t actually give a crap about the long term consequences of the millions born in Africa every yr who replace them and millions who will stay there in poverty, if you did you would see mass-immigration only benefits a few and leaves most in the mud, it benefits you and your image of yourself as beknighted virtuous humanitarian, more worried about your own image as such and how can appear as better than some other european by virtue signalling your piety in your new church of multiculturalism. Nothing but a self-server.
@stevenocarroll: lol, great points Steven.
But I have to correct you on one thing, Phil Blanc certainly not ‘left’ minded, far from it, he is just a confused little man, with loads of anger issues. He wouldn’t know left from right if they both hit him in the face. Hi type are in fact quite dangerous to society as they think that up there on their arrogant moral high ground, they know what’s best and the rest are dumb asses which effectively makes him totally intolerant.
Phil I’m surprised you turned up to comment. I thought you’d be crying in your pillow all day
Well said Nick. Poor Phil certainly needs a bit of counseling.
@Phil Blanc: That is Wall Street trying to effect the vote before the election and now normalising itself now. Politicians change but the lobbyists and bankers stay the same, it is sensationalism now but the republican party will keep Trump under their thumb. Remember what Obama promised, no one thought he end up killing innocent people in 7 countries with drones after the nobel prize, did they?
@stevenocarroll: Did you hear now that Hillary wants a job now in Trumps government, mustn’t have deleted all the emails she wanted lol.
Hillary was supported by Omar and the Saudis, who help Bahrain torture doctors who treated protestors who wanted democracy in Bahrain, they were tortured for treating them. Also the Saudis were behind 911, Bin Laden and Al Queda as well as the fountain of all Sunni terrorism in the world and helped form Isis under Hillary’s nose. They crucify people by nailing them to trees, they flog bloggers, they rape women, they throw gays off buildings like Isis do, they rape men, they treat women as slaves and Hillary spoils them with doubling the weapons they got in one year to 170 billion.
Goldman Sachs is behind her and with AIG they both cause the last mess that led to E.U. AUSTERITY where bank debt became tax payers debt and JP Morgan backs Hillary, the last time they banked anything like her it was the Titanic, they were penny pinching back then…
But it is the democratic right of the U.S. Citizens and if she was not so nasty to Sanders then Sanders would be President elect now but ambition and greed drove her to it as the leaked emails will show.
@Alois Irlmaier: At least Mr Trump isn’t beholden to Goldman Sachs or the state owned bank of China..Oh wait..
@Francis Mc Carthy: I rather have politicians associated with bankers that being associated with arm dealers as in drone makers and other industrial military complex gits…
Lesser of the 2 evils?
I am buying a 4- year supply of popcorn. This is gonna be sum craic lads!
A sad day. Hillary is finished in public life. The Democrats been beaten for the Senate and House ae well. The American voter gives the establishment an up yours.
@prop joe:
Wrong it is now time to press charges against this criminal.
@stevenocarroll: Bill Clinton consoling Hillary this morning : My dearest, Nelson Mandela had to spend 26 years in prison before he could become President. We’ll try to get you out sooner.
Ffs Steven the election is over. What criminal charge do you put against her? Even Trump has moved on.
Hillary… you’re FIRED!!!
F*ck her, one less corrupt, self serving political criminal to worry about.
@Les Behan: What will her revenge be on the Obama’s and Trump now lol.
She can take satisfaction at least that she got more votes than Trump.
That will be great satisfaction when she’s in prison
@Reagan Smash: I feel for you and your kind in the coming weeks when the penny drops that Trump isn’t actually going to do all the things he said he would.
@Rochelle: I’m sure her associates in Saudi Arabia and Goldman Sachs will also be consoled by slightly winning the popular vote.
Wind your neck in ….
We listened to the liberals fawning over Obama and how much hope and change he would bring. He didn’t and Trump has reshaped the electoral map in the United States. You now have a large number of Trump Democrats in the rust belt and like in the 80s with Reagan, they are backing Trump to deliver the change needed.
Rochelle why would anyone listen to people like you? You and your ilk said he’d never win the nomination then said he’d no shot at the White House. Hes now won the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives, he’s going to pass a tonne of his agenda.
@Rochelle: “I feel for you and your kind in the coming weeks when the penny drops that Trump isn’t actually going to do all the things he said he would.”
Which will be a relief for many who didn’t support him and a annoyance for those who did.
Why are you sorry for me? I have been vindicated. Globalisation and liberal fascism have been rejected. I should be the one sorry for you, but I’m not. The liberal establishment is coming crumbling down.
Phil Blanc just another loser who got absolutely everything WRONG!
@Rochelle:
What politician every does? “I mean it’s what you do during elections, tell lies”.
Phil’s opinions are so far removed from reality, that to even classify them as being wrong would be inaccurate.
Guys, be nice. The likes of Phil are do clued into the public consciousness. Sure how couldn’t they be. All the celebrities told them so
@regan.. establishment might be coming down alright but with Trump as it’s replacement I fail to see how anyone with an ounce of sense can celebrate today.
@Lucy Legacy: The poor little devils will be all cussing soon as Trump will not be able to carry out his “promises” ..This is going to be hilarious to watch..
Brenda power nearly self combusted on George Hook radio show today. Was cringeworthy to listen to a clueless person like her
I’m so happy I won’t have to see her face and hear her voice in the news almost everyday for the next 4 years, that’s assuming Trump doesn’t give her a very senior position in his new government like Obama did.
@cryptoskitzo: Obama, a democrate, gave Hillary, a democrat a job. Trump won’t let her in the front gate of the White House after that campaign.
@Neil:
Now time to charge and arrest her.
@stevenocarroll: Sure.The election is now over & Hillary & Trump will get on like a house on fire again..It’s going to be a hoot watching Trump trying to “secure” the border and deporting all of these undocumented workers ..hahaha..hahahaha .As Tariq says PMSL ..
I have to say I felt a little sad that we didn’t have our first woman US president. I cant help but wonder if she feels any regret about her many lies, dodgy deals and deleted emails which ultimately cost her the election. I do not agree with her politics but there is no doubting her ability and intelligence.
She and her supporters are still convinced that this was a rejection of women in general rather than her specifically
To believe that you have to believe that America was racially egalitarian enough to elect an inexperienced black man in a landslide 8 years ago but still wouldn’t elect any woman. It’s obvious bullshiit
Emeralds.. Totally agree with you. You can just hear the screams of misogyny and the angry feminazis going mental. But if they could be honest with themselves they would see all the dead bodies she has left in her wake.
You’re Damn right there Emeralds, if Jill Stein was running as a Democrat or Elizabeth Warren or even Michelle Obama, you can be Damn sure they’d have won. It’s simply that Clinton isn’t likeable and doesn’t inspire trust.
@Brendan McGill: michelle o’bomber wouldn’t have had anymore of a chance of getting elected than killary
@Sinead Hanley: she’s totally destroyed Libya and has more than Libyan blood on her hands, lots people that stood in her or her families way ended up dead in extremely suspiscious circumstances
Obama still polls at around 54%, I think that would have transferred to Michelle as well. I’m not saying I’d vote for her I’m just saying any one of those women would have done better than Hillary.
Won’t be too many donors happy today. Wasted a lot of money on someone who couldn’t even beat trump.
Crooked Loser Hillary #LoseWithHer
@Eddie Simon: You ignored me earlier on,when I asked you how he will be able to carry out the promises that he made ? How is he going to do these things? Can he do these things?
I will be keeping a close eye on the numbers of Mexicans coming into America..It would be hilarious if they started to go through the roof..Hahaha
Francis… Give President elect TRUMP a chance. He has only been elected 12 hours ago. He has lots and lots to do. For example overturning Roe v Wade…..
@Sinead Hanley: You are a funny one,Sinead..Sure,didn’t you avail of an abortion many moons ago & you have been whining about it ever since..C’mere ,the President can only elect a judge to the Supreme Court,,Do try to keep up.
Francis.. Miaow. What a catty comment. But thats to be expected. The ould liberals are having a baaaaad day. Poor pets….
@Sinead Hanley: I’ve asked Eddie a couple of times on how Mr Trump is going to carry out these promises of his ,you know the one like Obamacare,where you have 20 million POOR people(the ones that Trump “cares” so much about) that will lose their cover & that of their children,who would have had cover up to the age of 26 <- did you see that one Sinead? Wait until those people wake up and realise what is at stake & what they voted for..Oops!
I'm having a great day ..
It will be more painful when she’s in prison
@Reagan Smash: Hopefully they won’t put her in the same cell as Chelsea Manning. Ha has suffered too much.
@Laurence Fogarty: trump may well grant him a pardon ;)
Just can’t wait for Trump to make first fails Shouldn’t be too long
the thing is, he will make fails, what president hasn’t? only the controlled media will blow up every fart he makes and we’ll just sit back and laugh at how deseperately sore they are cos they have nothing better to do. the sheer anti trump articles in the media was deafening and quite immature. Clintons, DOB, all connected, say no more. The biggest fools are those believing the tripe they publish.
The Democratic party has to take a lot of blame for this. They handpicked a deeply unpopular candidate and rigged it to make sure she won the nomination. Sanders or Warren would have wiped the floor with Trump. Even Biden would have beaten him easily.
Surprised by the level of disdain towards Clinton here – anyone I’ve spoken to today was negative about Trump’s victory – regardless of their view of Clinton. The world would never have had this reaction to a President John McCain or Mitt Romney. The problem is with his personality and his simplistic outlook. The world is a far more complicated place than he seems to think. Does anyone actually think he will solve the problems of rural coalminers in Appalachia in any meaningful way? Not that Clinton would have either, I hasten to add.
@thomas.. I’m surprised too at level of vitriol for Clinton.. who lost incidentally. Likewise at work today people were generally upset and fearful at the Trump victory. Don’t worry Journal commenters today are not reflective of general feeling and thank goodness for that
@Thomas Conneely:
The reason why there’s so much venom towards her is because she’s a genuinely horrible person. In the 2008 campaign, Obama described her as a pathological liar who sums up everything that’s wrong with the US political system.
In this campaign, she rigged the DNC to get herself on the ticked, insulted half of the voter base by calling them a basked of deplorables, took money from Saudi Arabia and Qatar and lied repeatedly to the people about her various scandals and political beliefs. That’s before we touch on her awful record as Secretary of State.
@Thomas Conneely: be surprised no more ;)
Simply wrong candidates !
fairly sure any disease never feels good when its defeated
A tremendous blow to the Establishment.will enda and Leo apologise for the nasty things they called president trump.
Clinton does realise that half the electorate are male right ?
course she doesn’t, typical and deserving of losing. the marketing ideal of first female president just like last time, the first black president is not enough when you’re up to ones neck in corruption, saudi connections, oil greed and war. trumps mistakes are peanuts compared to her, but the media tried to fake it like she was great cos she’d be the first female president. what good is that? they could have been male or female, its what they have done and will do that counts. picking up remarks that trump made about ‘pussy’? c’mon, any man who hasn’t had that convo with another man AND women about other mens parts down the pub is a liar! its a private convo, so blow it up, he’s now a pig cos someone over heard the convo. So now girls, when your finished salivating over brad pitt and what you’d like to do to him, come back and say you’re done with hypocrisy and nit picking.
May Tesla get the support for electric now and tell saudi to shove their oil fields. American investment is where it needs to go and take manufacturing out of China, back home. Globalisation is one capitalist greedy machine and its got to end.
Hillary it need not have been so painful if you had listened to what people have been shouting from the rooftops you and your Wall Street friends lived it up. While the ordinary American family were thrown on the streets after collapse of the banks. No wage rises like here for the white non college educated (Now tell me whats that all about??) oh yeah snobs !!!
If you get time look at the film The Big Short on netflix Hilllary and friends and maybe you might realise the seeds of you and your establishment friends downfall including the affluent media moguls were sown in 2003 to 2008 and now have flowered in the form of a president attached to an ultra right wing party for whom many of those who voted for him will become even more impoverished.
not as painful as existing in a country totally and utterly destroyed by the actions of a corrupt war criminal!! stfu you cu next tuesday, you, your family and an awful lot of your friends should all be swinging from a rope!!
Wonder how long it will take her to announce that her farce of a marriage is over?
Lock her up.
Goodbye Hillary. You were’nt really meant for it. Hope you will spread a decent percentage of the Clinton Foundation money to charity for Christmas and beyond.
The Journal failed to pick up on Hilarys friend and ‘mentor’. The KKK’s Robert Byrd.

Poor Killary, I’m fresh outta sympathy
as someone said, the skinny jeans millennials must be sore around the groin. you’d think our young would be smart enough not to believe lies. they only see surface material, are arrogant, extremely arrogant and jump in without thinking. very very hyper on the tongue and mouthy.
