Ireland has a long history of emigration and previous generations fled hunger and hardship to settle in other countries where they were often met with discrimination. But they persisted, integrated, and now this is now a proud part of their national consciousness.

This explains in part why Ireland has historically had an above-average positive view of refugees compared to other European countries. And this made it an uncomfortable topic when immigration turned to mass immigration and the country struggled to cope with the increasing numbers of new arrivals.
