Brazilians form the largest Latin American diaspora group in Ireland by a wide margin. Historically, Irish people tended to emigrate to Brazil rather than the other way around. However, this trend has reversed since the late 20th century. According to the data from the Brazilian consulate, they make up to 1.5% of Ireland's population in 2020.

History

Protest in Dublin in support of the Liga dos Camponeses Pobres (League of Poor Peasants)

In 1991, Brazil opened an embassy in Dublin.

According to the Paulo Azevedo of the Brazilian embassy, there have been three waves of Brazilians moving to Ireland: factory workers during the Celtic Tiger years (late 1990s into the 2000s), students from the 2000s to the present, and then engineers and IT specialists.

It is said Jerry O'Callaghan was working in the meat industry in Goiás, Brazil when the company shut down. He organised for the Brazilians who had lost their jobs to move Ireland in 1999 where they found work at the Duffy Meat Plant in Gort, County Galway. By 2006, they made up a third of the population of Gort, which was dubbed Little Brazil. However, the closure of Duffy and the Great Recession jeopardised their employment and thus residence permits, causing some to leave.[1][2] A 2008 documentary on the Brazilian community in Gort won the Silver Angel Award.[3]

Roscommon also drew a number of Brazilians, who made up around 10% of the town's population by 2003 according to Chris Dooley. Some of these were workers at the Kepak factory in Athleague with families back in Brazil who intended to return. Others brought their families over to settle more permanently for security.[4][5]

In the 2000s, more Brazilians began coming to Ireland for study. Ed Giansante of eDublin, an organisation for Brazilians interested in moving to Ireland, believes the second wave began around 2007.[6] The reason many Brazilians seeking to study in an English-speaking country choose Ireland is that Ireland is especially accessible to them. Many work in retail and food service alongside their studies.

Annie Rozario of the Gort Resource Centre suggested there has been "an unacknowledged fourth wave" in recent years due to economic and political conditions back home, particularly among young people who were disillusioned by the Bolsonaro government.[7] In 2021, the Brazilian Left Front organised protests in Dublin, Galway, and Cork alongside cities in other countries in solidarity with the ongoing anti-Bolsonaro protests back home.[8]

Demographics

The 2016 census recorded around 13,640 non-Irish national residents of Brazilian origin, a figure more than tripled from a decade earlier. Eurostat reported that there were 27,192 Brazilians holding Irish residence permits in 2019, having consistently increased since 2016. This number fell to 22,481 in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[9]

Around two thirds (64%) of Brazilians according to the 2016 census were concentrated in County Dublin, the highest concentration of all non-Irish nationalities profiled. The rest were mostly found in Kildare, Galway, and Roscommon.

97% of Brazilian nationals in 2016 were under the age of 50, with a quarter being between the ages of 25 and 28 and only 10% of them being over 40. This would make Brazilians Ireland's youngest demographic with an average age of 29.9 years old, an increase of 1 year from the 2011 data. 50% were in work and 32% were students.[10] According to the Ruban Company, over half of international students from Brazil between 2016 and 2020 were women.[11]

Culture and community

Amigos of the Earth is a beach cleanup group started to give back to the local community.[12] Real Events has hosted Brazil Day since 2012 as well as hosting Carnaval in February and Festa Junina in June.[13]

In 2024, the first Leitorado Guimarães Rosa in Ireland was launched in the University College Cork (UCC).[14] The role of the leitor(a) is to promote the Portuguese language and the Brazilian culture in higher education institutions abroad.[15] UCC was chosen to host the first Leitora in the country due to its long history in teaching Portuguese, being the first HEI in Ireland to offer full-BA degrees in Portuguese.[16]

Socioeconomics

According to data from the Ruban Company collected between 2016 and 2020, the English-language course sector funneled over €1 billion into the Irish economy annually.[11]

For the third consecutive year, eDublin carried out a survey and found that 22% of the Brazilian students spent to cover their living costs. The average amount spent on food by the Brazilian exchange student in Ireland was in the range of €101 to 200 per month, among 50% of the responses. In 2021, the average income of a Brazilian student in Ireland was €1,200 per month, which went up to €2,000 in 2022.

In 2023, Unleashe published a report that found over 1,300 Brazilian businesses in Ireland, which had generated over €100 million in revenue. In response, a Brazil–Ireland Chamber of Commerce was established to help these businesses navigate Irish bureaucracy and import goods from Brazil. According to its president Fernanda Hermanson, most of the businesses were in food, manufacturing, hairdressing, and IT services. 82% of Brazilian business-owners were reported to be women; Hermanson attributed this to relationship dynamics, in which men have engineering jobs.[17]
