In the 12 months leading up to April 2024, 30,000 Irish citizens who had been living abroad returned to Ireland. A similar number of Irish emigrants returned to Irish shores the previous year, in the 12 months leading up to April 2023.


Who are these people, why are they coming home and what do they think of the Ireland they've returned to?


Today, on the In the News podcast, we speak to three Irish people who recently returned to Ireland after years of building a life overseas. Are Irish infrastructure and healthcare as bad as we believe when compared with other systems abroad? What is it that pulls people back?


And are they back for the long haul, or is reintegration back into Irish society too difficult after a long stint overseas?


Presented by Sorcha Pollak. Produced by Suzanne Brennan.
