Did anyone in Dublin declare their occupation as "farmer"? I'd like to meet that person

Yes. In every constituency there were people who declared themselves as farmers. In Dublin Central there were 47 people who were declared as farmers (or 0.04%). It's not impossible or like the US, it only takes two hours from the centre to get into deep countryside and it's possible that these people have more than one job which requires them to be in the city but any real details further than that I would not know.

You do have the Phoenix Park and the Botanic Gardens nearby, I suppose, and there are a couple of farms inside the city boundaries (http://census.cso.ie/agrimap/).

What I'm really impressed by is the city block formed by Camden Street/Grantham Street/Synge Street/South Circular Road (small area 268142005, and part of Hipster Central to the casual observer) where 10% of the population claim to be farmers. Guys, a marijuana plant in a pot does not a market garden make.

An entire basement converted to a greenhouse, on the other hand.... especially if that's indeed your biggest source of income?

I thought there were more Prots in Cavan/Monaghan... and Ican't recall ever hearing of Protestants in Donegal.
I knew about Carbery and Wicklow (and middle-class Dublin, duh effing duh.)

[minionofmidas]

It's southwestern County Cork, actually. But yes, the area has a homegrown Protestant (minority) tradition.

[minionofmidas]

Oakvale, for some reason I thought you came from Monaghan.

No, that's the other (now rarely seen) I-IE poster; Jas.

Ah, apologies.

I tend to think of you three as the Jas Spinoffs.

Dublin North West is all after 1919? How come?

[minionofmidas]

Remarkably dense for that.

[minionofmidas]

In the 1990s, the first kebab stalls in smaller East German towns were usually run by Germans.

What is that one place in the South-West where manufacturing is so high? (forgive me I know nothing about Ireland)

Limerick. Some (have no idea how much but a quite significant amount at least) of that is gone now o/c.

And who manufactures in Waterford?

Also, twentynine percent?

[minionofmidas]

Dublin South rarely if ever deviates from Dunleary next door, so you can't possibly be talking about that.

[minionofmidas]

I like how most of the articles I can find seem to think "suicide" is such a dirty word that the fact cannot be put to paper. Pretty crass, though, and they seem to be at a bit of a loss as to why.

[minionofmidas]

Wait, what? "Non-Manual?"

[minionofmidas]

So what kind of jobs would that be?

[minionofmidas]

Non-manual Hairdressers. What do they hold the scissors with, their feet?

[minionofmidas]

Non-manual Hairdressers. What do they hold the scissors with, their feet?

I would assume so.

It's just a "not really 'White-collar' (or low level White Collar) but not really 'labourer' type jobs" category.

Which, oddly enough, is exactly what the map looked like it would be.

[minionofmidas]

Non-manual Hairdressers. What do they hold the scissors with, their feet?

You've seen the standard Irish male haircut then?

Yes. I spent a few weeks in Dublin as a teenager.

[minionofmidas]

They don't get paid? I don't believe you.

They get paid less but that taxfree, is probably more like it.

[minionofmidas]

Could you do a map of primary school dropouts?

[minionofmidas]

Population maps time - figuring in a couple of a censuses (Censuae? Censi?).

Censi.

You strike me as the type to have some basic grounding in Latin, but alas, as I have discovered on a previous occasion...

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Dublin County looks like it's been swallowed by the ocean on this one.

[minionofmidas]

Outliers only to the downward, I see. Makes sense, I suppose.

[minionofmidas]

Just to keep the thread alive somewhat...

I remember a while back on this forum we had a discussion on which regions here would vote for which UK parties in the magical event (yes, Niall Ferguson, a unicorn is more likely to fly by your house while copulating with Shergar than this has of ever, ever happening) of Ireland being part of the UK and having the same parties (ha!). Obviously political cultures, etc are different (to say the least) but anyone willing to speculate... I would say the same for the US except that would be too obvious...

Er... everywhere but bits of South Dublin voting "not Tory"?

Interesting to know that the more I find out about Niall Ferguson the more of a bizzaro alternate-universe BRTD he becomes. Did you know he's married to Ayaan Hirsi Ali? There are no words.

... and possibly West Cork, yes.

Actually, I did not know that, I am... amazed.

Niall Ferguson is married to Ayaan Hirsi Ali and possibly West Cork? Now I'm intrigued.
