Ah sure, we’re only brilliant.
Throwing your toys out of the pram is one way of dealing with defeat, but we’ve rarely seen people emigrate en mass after their candidate suffered a defeat at the polls. This is the situation that some American citizens are facing though after Hillary Clinton was beaten by Donald Trump in the presidential elections.
Nobody knows what type of President Trump will be, but it’s clear that some American citizens might not be sticking around to find out. We’re quite aware that the majority will remain and that they’re making an empty promise, butthere was a notable increase in the amount of people that thought about making the move to Ireland.
Here’s how the phrase ‘Move To Ireland’ spiked on Google Trends during the week. The November 9th date is incredibly noticeable.
Canada’s immigration website may have crashed, but it appears that Ireland is the preferred destination for some people.
Here are some of the American citizens that might fancy a new home in the Emerald Isle.

I want to move to Ireland. Not because of the election or anything, I just like the beer.

Here are some responses from Irish people, we especially love the reply that was sent to Glenn Howerton of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia fame.
First Brexit and now this. The Irish passport office won't be able to cope.

How on earth is Ireland going to fit in all the British and Americans trying to claim an Irish passport?

Move to Ireland, everybody. We’re up to our asses in religious loonies, but we have very few actual fascists.

See, Ireland is a great place that’s completely devoid of any social problems, glaring issues , corruption or inequality (*cough, cough*)
