      Is it unreasonable for the government to tighten up the immigration system.

      Will get worse, the Brits are going to 10 year criteria with conditions for residency passports. Push a lot of asylum surfers towards the South.

      For a while, we had a good thing going with immigration being a blessing but when housing and infrastructure concerns were raised the obvious answer of reducing international visas temporarily was dismissed as racist.  Seven years later, it feels like Ireland is becoming fragmented.

      Oh well.

      Well it’s not really – the EU received about 1 million asylum seekers in 2024, only about 18.5K of them applied for asylum in Ireland. That’s less than 2%.

      Every organ of the Fianna spin machine is in action now on this issue. The lurch to the right and to “concern” over an issue theyve been in charge of since day one is so obvious.

      80% of asylum seekers who are successful in their application are in full time employment within 3 years as per the CSO.

      Immigration is not contributing to the problems of this country. Even the ones who stay here illegally are a pittance in terms of impact and a burden any developed nation has to deal with, it’s not an excuse to turn to far right populist policies which will hurt ordinary people looking to improve their lives.

      Immigrants are scapegoats. People motivated by hate are pushing the agenda and people affected by ignorance are buying it.

      Because easy money, easy access into the country (get a UK visa, fly to Belfast and travel down) then you can float about within the State undetected for years, when you do get caught then you just claim asylum to stay for another few months until your asylum application is processed.

      We got about 0.4% of worldwide applications last year. So the answer is that it’s not a destination of choice.

      Destination of choice?? Ireland barely receives the EU average in asylum claims (per capita).

      Cyprus, Austria, Greece and Germany are the destination of choice for asylum seekers.

      Is there data to back the headline or is this an entire op ed of begging the question?
