    seems to me from hearing accents in Melbourne and seeing The GAA Cup related clothes and jeans/black shoes scenarios, especially in St Kilda, that's there are enough Irish people here to start a city of maybe 50,000 people

    County: Australia

    Arrived: Feb 2008
    Intending to Stay: Hopefully at least until I finish my Masters or PhD.

    Seems that a lot of the people who are intending to stay for quite awhile have only just recently arrived. I wonder how much of an impact the economy back in Ireland is having / will have on this.
