I propose to take Questions Nos. 37 and 38 together.
The Central Statistics Office publishes statistics on emigration and immigration in its annual Population and Migration Estimates release.The principal source of information for the estimation of the annual migration flows is the Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS). It is not possible to provide estimates of emigration from Ireland at county level from this sample survey. The emigration estimates are also compiled with reference to other migration indicators such as the number of work visas issued to Irish citizens for the main countries of destination via the relevant embassies and agencies. However this data is only available at a State level and so is also unsuitable for the provision of county-based estimates.
The following table shows the estimated numbers of emigrants classified by all nationalities and Irish nationals from 2008 to 2014.
