German - American
I’m just about to go to the US Embassy in Dublin. It’s a grand affair and I’m looking forward to it. It’s about the continuing story of the Irish and America - more a love affair than story.America, today’s America, was built on European immigration. Some of that immigration has been celebrated, nowhere more so than with the story of Irish emigration there. Today there are now nearly 35 million Americans who report having Irish heritage. That’s around seven times the population of Ireland today. Everyone has heard of Ireland’s contribution but did you know it is not the largest immigrant group in the Unites States.
