Turks in Ireland (Turkish: İrlanda Türkleri, Irish: Turcaigh in Éirinn) are Turkish people who live in Ireland having been born elsewhere, or are Irish-born, but have Turkish roots. By Turkish roots, this could mean roots linking back to Turkey, the island of Cyprus or the communities of the Turkish diaspora.

Population[]

According to the 2011 Irish census, there are 1,029 Turkish nationals living in Ireland.[3] During the time of a 2005 strike against the GAMA Turkish Construction Company, socialist news websites reported that they alone employed 900[4][5][6] to 2,000[7] Turkish workers. The Turkish embassy may have an investment in down-playing the number of Turks in Ireland given the negative reception of Turks in other European countries, such as German Turks, Dutch-Turks and French-Turks.[2] Thus, overall the number of Turkish descendants living in Ireland is estimated at 2,000-3,000.[2]

According to the information from Turkish Foreign Ministry on 06/02/2019, there are 4500 Turkish citizens living in the Republic of Ireland.[8]
