Abstract
There is a long history of migration from Britain to Ireland, but it is rarely theorised
as migration. Drawing on historical and contemporary sources as well as ongoing
qualitative research, this paper makes visible the extended presence of British nationals,
as migrants, in Ireland. In discussing the conflicted geographies of belonging of recent
British migrants to Ireland, the paper highlights the ways in which postcolonial and
nationalist discourses may suggest boundaries to belonging. However, these boundaries
are undermined by the positioning of British migrants as not-quite-migrants in the
changing landscape of migration in contemporary Ireland.
