This category is deeply flawed. Most of the people listed under "Irish Canadian" were NOT Irish emmigrants, but were born in diaspora. The nomeclature is misleading, and unless some one gives me a reasonable objection I will correct it shortly. Kevlar6712:09, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
and Irish Americans too. but how aren t diaspora a kind of emigrants? - separated diaspora must have a sub-category link to emigrants at large. and i see separating diaspora and non-diaspora as over-categorisation. Mayumashu05:06, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Actually I think a better solution is to limit this category strictly to people born in Ireland who moved to other coutries, and simply link to the "Irish-Canadian" and "Irish-American" categories, but do not include them as sub-categories of this category. Clearly the two groups are related, but most of the families of Irish heritage in Newfoundland, for example, have been their since the 1700s. They are not "emigrants" or "expats" in any sense of the term. Kevlar6713:21, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
