Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to add to existing knowledge and theory relating international labour migration under conditions of free movement. The chapter focuses on Polish nationals who, with Lithuanians, are the largest immigrant group in Ireland from the eight countries of Central and Eastern Europe that acceded to membership of the European Union (EU) in 2004. The research draws on census of population data at a range of geographical scales. The movement of the immigrants between areas was traced using choropleth mapping and statistical measurement of population density and distribution, compared with the Irish population, using the Hoover Index and the Dissimilarity Index. The greatest concentration of Polish nationals occurs in large centres of population but movement took place to smaller places from the beginning and increased over time.
