1949-1969



The northern Irish issue continued to be a major factor in Irish policy. In 1948 Ireland joined the COUNCIL OF EUROPE.
In 1961 Ireland joined EFTA; in 1965 a first application for EEC membership was refused; Ireland then signed the signed the Anglo-Irish Free Trade Agreement.
Emigration from Ireland, both to the industrial centers of Britain as well as to overseas immigration countries such as the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand continued, in high numbers (in proportion to its population).
