Ireland most multicultural in EU — and we’re loving it

IRELAND is the most multicultural country in Europe and we are loving it, according to a European Union-wide poll.

The average Irish citizen meets more foreigners when out shopping, travelling and in school or university than in any of the other 26 EU countries.

We meet more people of a different ethnic origin than people elsewhere in the union and believe that half of those we meet have a different religion to ours.
