The Irish diaspora refers to people of Irish origin who loved abroad. Since 1700, around 9 or 10 million Irish people have emigrated. The phenomenon was particularly active after 1840. In 1890, 40% of Irish people were living abroad, and in the present, more than 80 million people all over the world (including 36 million Americans, or 10.5% of the population according to the U.S. Census Bureau, 2013) claim to have Irish ancestry.

The arrival of Irish people to the US had many significant changes in society. Because they often spoke Irish (Gaelic), the English language became richer due to their linguistic contributions. Other areas such as music and dance were greatly influenced by the Irish communities. Irish people became involved in all areas of life, including politics, and are now assimilated into mainstream American culture.

The precedent of Irish-Americans supports the idea of accepting Syrian refugees as well. Syrian refugees can contribute to the economy and the culture of the country. They can also become assimilated and participate in all areas of life. Finally, when Syria returns to a stable state, refugees are likely to decrease, as was the case with Ireland.
