Protesters gather in Trafalgar Square, London | Jeff J Mitchell/Getty Images Number of young Brits seeking work abroad doubles after Brexit: media reports Britain’s loss will be Ireland’s gain, job search site says.

The number of youths wanting to leave the U.K. to work abroad doubled in the 48 hours after Britain voted to leave the EU, according to job search site Indeed.

Online searches for job openings in Dublin and Berlin were spiking, Mariano Mamertino, a spokesman for Indeed, told the Independent.

"Most job seekers looked to the very countries of the European Union that Britain will be leaving, with Ireland attracting the most searches. This could be early signs of British job seekers' collective vote of no confidence," Mamertino said.

"If Brexit is allowed to interrupt the flow of talent to the U.K., Britain’s loss will be Ireland’s gain if skilled workers are lured by its dynamic and English-speaking labor market,” he added.

The news comes as Irish Foreign Affairs Minister Charlie Flanagan on Monday warned that a deluge of passport applications from British citizens seeking Irish papers risked clogging up the system at its busiest time and causing further delays.

Brits are also looking outside of the EU. The Canadian embassy said that visits to its immigration, refugees and citizenship website rose by 325 percent above normal levels on Friday, the day the result of the U.K.'s EU referendum was revealed.
