I have been producing the #BritList for about two years where I look for Brits on Hive and generate a post that indicates how many are active. I have offered to do this for other countries, but have not had much interest to far. I use a mix of @Hivesql and Beem with Python to find people and produce the post.
I ran some searches on other countries a while back to see how active they were. I am not sure I looked at Ireland then, but here is a list I generated today. Not a huge number, but in proportion to the population it may not be much different to the UK list. I searched for 'Ireland' in the profile plus a few major towns. I welcome suggestions of what else I could look for.
On the Brits list I include ex-pats. I am sure plenty of Irish people are now living elsewhere, but I will leave it to others to compile that list.

The two with a * are on an old copy of the Hivewatchers blacklist I downloaded. One of them is just posting and never commenting and the other just votes with a small stake. We have plenty of of accounts out there running on automatic.
I remember seeing there used to be some meetups in Dublin. Do they still happen?
I have not heard from @paulag in a while. She used to be quite active and we chatted on at least on Zoom virtual meetup. It would be good to have more of those.
On a related topic there is a potential London meetup next month. @tdctunes is playing a gig at Cafe 1001 in Brick Lane on Thursday 15th December. People can meet there beforehand to chat and stay for the music if they like. The gig is at 8pm. It was suggested that people could meet from about 4pm. We are discussing it on the Brits Discord if you are interested.
