Irish migration to Britain has a long and chequered history, yet only in recent years have historians examined this subject in depth. Three broad issues have dominated this debate thus far. First, why did Irish people leave their homeland and settle in particular districts in Britain and what were the consequences of this process? Second, how were these migrants variously perceived by British society and how far did attitudes towards them change during this period? Third, how far did Irish emigrants integrate into British society or preserve a distinctive identity? This pamphlet presents a short summary of the historical debate on these and related issues. Part of the 'Helps for Students of History' series from the Historical Association.
