 Immigration into Ireland: background, policy responses, outlook
Ireland’s adherence to the European Community in 1973 even led to net in-migration, for the first time in modern history, although this was largely explained by the return of experienced Irish migrants, usually with families, to meet specific skills shortages in the Irish economy (chart 2).
Ireland thus experienced, within a short space of time, a substantial rise in non-Irish immigration, mostly from other EU countries, and a smaller but significant rise in non-EU immigrants, whether asylum-seekers, illegal immigrants or immigrant workers on short-term work permits.
While the application must be accompanied by a job offer from an employer in Ireland, holders of working visas and of work authorisations are allowed to change their employers within the same skills category after arrival in Ireland as long as they continue to have authorisation to work and reside in the country.

 NCJRS Abstract - National Criminal Justice Reference Service
There is widespread agreement that crime in Ireland has become more frequent and more costly over the past two decades, and this study evaluates available statistical evidence on trends in the level and pattern of crime in Ireland between 1951 and 1975.
To evaluate trends associated with the frequency and gravity of crime between 1951 and 1975, the annual number of recorded offenses and the average value of stolen property were assembled in sequence.
Crime trends generally supported the study's assertion that recent changes in the level and pattern of crime in Ireland can be understood as responses to specific social structural changes that originated around 1960.

 Ireland in Prehistory by Michael Herity and George Eogan
Though the last forty years have seen a great acceleration in archaeological discovery in Ireland, no work of synthesis covering the whole prehistoric period in the island has appeared since the publication of Raftery's Prehistoric Ireland in 1951.
The material presented in a book of this kind is inevitably only a selection, and both writers are well aware that alternative selections of material and other interpretations can be put forward, particularly in the areas in which they are not specialists.
The writers are indebted to their colleagues in the Department of Archaeology at University College, Dublin, for their willingness to discuss numerous points during the writing of the book.
