We have seen how globalisation has economic, social, cultural and political impacts. One way to view cultural impact is through the lens of diversity. Read the data and answer the questions that follow.
UNDERSTAND
1. According to the CSO, how many people arrived to live in Ireland in the year leading up to April 2016?
2. What were the top three nationalities (other than Irish) living in Ireland in 2016? 3. What evidence is there of an increase in families with mixed nationalities in Ireland?
4. Had the overall numbers of non-Irish nationals living here gone up or down since the previous census in 2011? By how much?
5. From what you have learned about globalisation, do you think these figures show that Ireland is becoming more or less globalised? Give a reason for your answer.
