I live in Dublin and work in the tech industry here, so I'm not importing any narratives from anywhere else. The tiny number of non-white people in Ireland is ~9% of the population, not too much lower than the UK.
There's also been a reasonable female uptake of STEM at third-level in recent years, in part due to deliberate initiatives to promote it. I get the anecdotal impression this may have translated into reducing imbalance in a few science/engineering-related fields (I could be wrong), but not really IT-related stuff seemingly.
- dbspin 11y agoOk, accepting first generation immigrants from developing nations, whats the level of 3rd level educated non white people living in Ireland? I'd bet it compares unfavourably with the number of non-white people working in tech here, given the massive number of non-Irish tech workers.
- lucideer 11y agoYeah, you are right there. The sufficiently-educated-plus-visa-holding population is probably going to be a bit less diverse than the wider general population alright.
