Trump's return makes Yanks migrate again
THE number of US citizens moving to Ireland in the past year almost doubled, new CSO figures show.
Data for the 12 months leading up to April 2025 reveals that while inward migration was down overall by 16%, the number of Americans coming here was up by 96%.
No reason was given for the surge, but estate agents have previously reported a massive jump in “Trumpugees” inquiring about properties here.
In March, the figure for United States citizens applying for Irish passports hit a ten-year high, while property website Daft.ie saw a surge of 220% in US-based web traffic on the day of Donald Trump's election last November.
Comedian Rosie O'Donnell is the most high-profile figure to seek Irish residency.
Of the immigrants, 31,500 were returning Irish citizens, 25,300 were other EU citizens, 4,900 were UK citizens and the remaining 63,600 were from other countries.
