This is CBS, by In the World.

I'm John Batchel with my colleague Malcolm Honeline, Conference of President of Major American

Jewish Organizations.

And we're very happy to go to Dublin, Ireland and welcome Maurice Cohen, Chairman of the Jewish

Representative Council of Ireland.

Maurice, a very good evening to you.

I'm told that you and Malcolm had a very good time in Israel recently, but now we're in

Dublin.

What is the Jewish community in Dublin and in Ireland?

And how is it today focused on the events of the world?

Good evening to you.

Good evening, Anne.

It's a pleasure being with you.

That's a big question about the Jewish community.

Why do we have a small community?

It's a big community.

It's a big question, I should say.

I suppose the first thing is to tell you is it's impossible to know how many Jewish people

are actually in Ireland because one doesn't have to declare one's religion in the census.

Some people do, some people don't.

We're too few to have our own categories or under the category of other.

One stage quite recently, we seems to be the fastest growing Jewish community in Europe
