AIBU to believe this is fake news, hype at best??

Indeed, some may be going to "Ireland,! and may have been doing so
for the last two years anyway.s or so.

Therefore, what was the number of migrants/boat people that went to Ireland from Jan 1st and Dec 31st in 2022 and the year ending 2023??

As I've said many times, I don't trust any politician or political party for that matter as they are on the whole, in it for themselves.

Message to Rishi Sunak, PM - Please give us the numbers. (I bet you it is no different to what was happening previously)

On behalf of Ireland, I'm most appreciative about your concern. We however, are concerned about your obsession with Rishi/migrants/whatever 'controversial' shite that flits through your head from hour to hour. You should see someone for that

Yeah, I mean the rise in asylum seekers coming from the UK is all I hear about on Irish radio so I don't think Sunak is making it up.

Number?/ Numbers as per my OP?

I'm sure there are but a handful.

I've just been looking up Irelands demographics - hardly any people there from outside the EU

The Tories are absolutely determined to make us into an international pariah aren't they.

France won’t take them back because we are no longer part of the EU.

Ireland is, so arrangements can be made with the EU regarding where to place people.

You’re missing the point that I’m making. I’m ready to be amused by the hypocrisy.

I look forward to seeing all the UK people who say “France should take them” being fully supportive of the Irish sending these immigrants back to Britain.

Well it’s the Irish government that are considering suing because they believe 80% of recent illegal immigrants have come over the border from Northern Ireland, spooked by the Rwanda bill.

It’s not difficult to find the news articles OP

I've tried looking for the figures, therefore, as you have seen the numbers, kindly share with me/us! Thanks in advance

I support the Irish government response to this. Hopefully the issue will end soon as the people of the UK vote out this government.
