“Right now, there are 205,150 fewer twentysomethings in Ireland than there were six years ago. That’s 27.2 percent of the twenty something population. For those between the ages of 20 and 24, the reduction of that demographic is bigger still, a 31 percent decrease in six years. In 2009, there were 180,900 women between the ages of 20 and 24 in Ireland. Last year there were 104,600, a decrease in population of 34 percent.
“People talk about how depressed small towns and villages become when the young people leave. But the conversation about national emigration hasn’t moved beyond 'isn’t it terrible.' We aren’t examining the impact the decimation of Ireland’s twentysomething population is having.”
Nobody shouts stop as 205,000 young people have left Ireland
