Irish Americans (Irish: Gael-Mheiriceánaigh) are Americans who can trace their ancestry to the island of Ireland. About 34.7 million Americans—12.5% of the total population—reported Irish ancestry in the 2013 American Community Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau.[1] Three million people separately identified as Scotch-Irish, whose ancestors were Ulster Scots who emigrated from Ireland to the United States.
