Dublin City (88,038 persons), Situating the Present 31 Fingal in North County Dublin (49,517), and Cork County (42,886) had the highest numbers of non-Irish nationals. 1 are taken from the CSO’s (2012) publication Census 2011 Profile 6 Migration and Diversity – A profile of diversity in Ireland. 7 Although Irish society is now made up of nationalities ranging from Afghani to Zimbabwean, a significant majority of Guards interactions and discourse was found to centre around four specific nationalities.
Overall, the significance of this transition to a multicultural society has had an enormous impact on the nature of contemporary Irish policing. As Stead (1983, 163) tells us, ‘Nations carve their police systems in their own likeness’, and Ireland proves this rule. e. White, Catholic, rural, and Irish-speaking). The widespread public acceptance and almost universally recognised legitimacy of the Guards was also realised through such things as forging close links with the Catholic Church, promoting the Irish language, and being heavily involved in organisations such as the Gaelic Athletic Association.
Nevertheless, the ‘new Ireland’, while it may not be as racially, culturally, or religiously heterogeneous as other societies with a longer history of immigration, has been so termed not least because of how recently and rapidly significant numbers of foreign-born people have arrived on the shores of what was formerly, relatively speaking, ‘a culturally homogeneous society’ (Hughes et al. 2007, 241). This is arguably one of the most important developments in Irish social history. Situating the Present 29 Ireland’s historical migration profile can be described as fairly unusual, at least in European terms.
