The number of Romani people in Ireland (Irish: Lucht Romanaí in Éirinn) is roughly estimated, as the Central Statistics Office collects its data based on nationality and not ethnic origin. For this reason a precise demographic profile of the Romani in Ireland is not available. Some estimates of Roma in Ireland give the population at 1,700 in 2004,[2] rising to between 2,500 and 3,000 in 2005.[1] Irish Roma have been present in Ireland for centuries, originating from historical migrations from Britain and Continental Europe. Although they mixed with Irish Travellers and settled Irish natives, they have preserved their Romani identity across generations.[3][4][5] However, the majority of the Roma population in Ireland today derive from recent migrations, primarily from Romania, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Italy.
