	Ireland
		While Ireland remains largely homogeneous in terms of the ethnic origin, religion and culture of its population, the late 1990s - a time of strong economic growth and a remarkable decrease in the rate of unemployment - witnessed a dramatic shift from its being a nation of emigration to a nation of immigration.
		Three years later, the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia commissioned a follow-up survey, which was carried out in the spring of 2000 by Eurobarometer; about 1,000 interviews were conducted in each of the 15 member states of the European Union.
		In Ireland, the most dramatic change was registered on the question of whether the presence of minority groups is grounds for insecurity: in 1997, 16 per cent agreed that it was, while in 2000 the percentage of those feeling insecure due to a minority presence had risen to 42 per cent.

	The 1994 European Election
		Both Sinn Fein and the Natural Law Party chose to run three candidates for the three places; in the case of the latter, inexperience can excuse this bizarre choice, but SF were I think hoping to capitalise on the candidates' regional strengths to pull their vote up from 1989.
		For the Conservatives this was an attempt to show that their support could last more than one electoral cycle, after the disappointing local election results the previous year; it was not a success for them.
		Finally I was privately glad that the record for the lowest vote in an NI European electon, previously held by Jimmy Murray of the Ulster Liberal Party who got only 932 votes in 1979, was comprehensively shattered by four of the candidates in 1994.

		"This is a wake-up call," said outgoing European Parliament President Pat Cox, who warned EU leaders they had to do more to tell their electorates that the EU is important and relevant.
