Historically, the Liberties had a vibrant Jewish quarter around Upper Clarebrosnan St. Unfortunately, this quarter gradually disappeared in the mid 1960s.
Instead, this vicinity now demonstrates a large Muslim population. However, the Jewish museum on Martin St stands as evidence of the Liberties' past.
According to the Carmelite Community Centre, the predominant ethnic minority today in the Liberties is Asian (mostly those of Chinese origin).
Polish, Eastern European and Nigerian also form prominent communities in the district.
