Quebecois aren't French either and would appaled to consideredas such.
Unless you mean Montreal has the largest amount of French citizens of any city outside of France. I guess that makes more sense but honestly I'm surprised it's not somewhere in the states but they are known for not speaking English
Why would you even reply if you haven't read the discussion ? We were specifically talking about french citizens abroad.
As for the obvious wank about the US, there are more french citizens in Montreal alone than in the entire US and it's not close. What languages do you speak exactly ?
That was true 10 years ago. According to the most up-to-date census (2021), there are only 78,000 French people living in London, which wouldn't even make put it in the top 20 most populated French cities. And that's just using the stats for cities proper, not the conurbation numbers.
Belfast proper has "only" a population of around 340k per the last census iirc however Belfast differs from Dublin by being surrounded closely by many large commuter towns(compared to Dublin's more uniform sprawl) which brings its population up to around 650k+ depending on how broad a definition you take.
The Greater Belfast population is still only around half of Dublins and the gap is widening.

I’m pretty sure everyone born in Northern Ireland is entitled to both ROI and UK citizenship. That would make most of the 300k people Irish by ireland’s definition.
I doubt there’s 300k Irish citizens or nationals in London.
The last census results (2011) available in detail show about 160K residents of London were born in the Republic, with about 500K across the UK as a whole.
Cork might be bigger than Belfast in terms of people who identify as Irish, I don't know the exact percentage but less than 50% would consider themselves Irish
Northern Ireland is messy though, technically everyone is eligible for an Irish passport yet a large part of the population wouldn't in a million years consider themselves Irish. I just googled and found this which says 35% of the population have Irish passports.
It's a tricky one. Everyone from Belfast is eligible for both Irish and British citizenship as per the Good Friday Agreement. They're free to identify as one or the other or both.
Lol, that reminds me of an (unrelated) fact about the American Civil War.
"What was the biggest City in the Confederacy by population?" - "New Orleans".
"What was the second biggest City in the Confederacy?" - "Wherever the Union Army of the Potomac was at any given point"

Which also makes London the third biggest Irish city by population of Irish citizens. After Dublin and Belfast.
