School's out at Bracken School in Balbriggan, Ireland  BALBRIGGAN, Ireland (Washington Post Foreign Service) - The opening of Ireland's first predominantly black school, in this suburban town just north of Dublin, illustrates the pressures facing once-sleepy Ireland as its population and economy boom. Once almost entirely white and Catholic, the country is struggling to integrate hundreds of thousands of new immigrants and to provide them with education, health, welfare and transportation services as fast as they arrive. After 150 years of population decline as native Irish fled dire economic conditions, Ireland is now one of Europe's fastest-growing and most prosperous nations. The white-hot "Celtic Tiger" economy of recent years has leveled off, but Ireland continues to be a magnet for immigrants. "Ireland has been subject to something that no other country in history has ever been subject to: sudden-onset migration," said Conor Lenihan, the Irish integration minister, whose post was created this year. "We have seen our non-Irish population go from zero to about 15 percent in 10 years."
