Brazilians form the largest Latin American diaspora group in Ireland by a wide margin. Historically, Irish people tended to emigrate to Brazil rather than the other way around. However, this trend has reversed since the late 20th century. According to the data from the Brazilian consulate, they make up to 1.5% of Ireland's population in 2020.
