The accompanying table provides the most recent estimates of the number of emigrants to the UK from the Republic of Ireland for the 12 month period ending mid April for the years 1987 to 2011. The data was taken from the CSO's annual Population and Migration Estimates release. The annual estimates for 2007 to 2011 are subject to revision when the more detailed results from the 2011 Census of Population become available. The revised figures will be published in September along with the estimates for the year to April 2012.
