Irish communities
Diaspora from Dublin
Irish communities are groups of people of Irish descent or heritage living together or connected by shared cultural identity, typically outside Ireland itself.
These communities formed through waves of emigration, particularly during and after the Great Famine of the 1840s, establishing concentrated populations in cities like Boston, New York, Liverpool, and Sydney.
They often maintain cultural traditions through churches, pubs, social clubs, and organizations that celebrate Irish language, music, and heritage.
The Irish community in Chicago hosts one of the largest St. Patrick's Day parades in the world.
