Romani people in Ireland
Ethnic group in Ireland / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Irish Travellers.
The number of Romani people in Ireland is roughly estimated, as the Central Statistics Office collects its data based on nationality and not ethnic origin. For this reason a precise demographic profile of the Romani in Ireland is not available. Some estimates of Romani in Ireland give the population at 1,700 in 2004,[2] rising to between 2,500 and 3,000 in 2005.[1] The majority derived from Romani populations originating in Ukraine and Hungary.
