>>13687914Yep. There was a huge migration to North America and the population never really recovered. Pubs in Ireland are commonly dismantled and sold off to be rebuilt in the US (and maybe Canada).
Problem isn't really Ireland, it's Great Britain, which has nearly ten times the population in only 2.5x as much space. While both islands do have a long history of agricultural production, it's likely nowhere near enough to sustain the current population.
