Ireland’s population density declines due to famine & emigration. That’s what makes the recent increases in population so welcome. Ireland is not full https://n.respublicae.eu/irishfamineproj/status/1671891436286132226

So most of Ireland has been independent from Britain for 100 years and been in the EU for the last 50. Would be interesting to see a graph of living standards over the last 150 years alongside that of Scotland, Wales and England. My belief is that small, independent counties do well in the EU but historically less well under London-centric government even before Brexit.
