Lots of Irish around here?
A question which doesn't expect a very scientific answer. I've noticed - or think I've noticed - a higher proportion of Irish people around here than you might expect from their share in the population of anglophones in NW Europe. It may be my imagination, but if not you can imagine how it might happen by recommendation, family ties... (I used to spend time at a place in the Var where the next-door village was populated almost entirely by Swedes).
But is it true?

Most places I've been around the world I have met a disproportional number of Irish people, I think it has to do with the propensity of Irish people to travel.
For example the Irish represent the second highest ethnic group in the United States which is massively disproportional, the percentage in the UK and Australia is also very high.
That being said, I have not met that many Irish people in the Perpignan area.
