I don't know about the history of Irish to NZ immigration - Aus was originally mainly convicts but I've always thought NZ was mainly settled by working class English looking for a better life - and they sort of got one, but they worked hard for it.

Dunedin was originally very Scottish, and Oamaru probably was too - they were really into stone buildings - up north stone buildings are very rare. I've never heard of any Irish influence in NZ.

But the oldest building in NZ is about as north as you can get - in Kerikeri - this is from 1822 so it just turned 200 - and that is as far back as NZ buildings still in existence go. I have been there but this is not one of my photos.

OK no Irish influence then. I've never been there but from pics I've seen it does look very English/Scottish yeh. The Scots and the Irish seem to think of themselves as one as both hate the English lol.
