"Migrants going to Ireland," states Rishi Sunak PM

[DistinguishedSocialCommentator]

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)

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Jesus wept, haven't you got a bloody life?

Evidently not 😂😂😂

OP do you work for sky news cos I lost the remote control here a few hours ago and have that stuck on in the background and sky news is also bloody obsessed with us Irish and this Rwanda thing.

Also yis can feck off thinking we are going to scratch your back after all ye have put us through.

Scapegoating us will not work this time I am afraid.

Google it? Seriously it doesn't take much.

To date in 2024, 6,739 people have applied for asylum, of these, 6,136, or 91 per cent, were first encountered by the authorities when they arrived in Dublin city, indicating the vast majority crossed the border from Northern Ireland after leaving Britain.

I adore the fact that OP has just been looking up Ireland's demographics and deigns to 'inform' us all of her exciting findings. Like Ireland is some some sort of mythical, parallel universe. She must live under a fucking rock. Our Taoiseach is a gay man of Indian descent for example. We are a nation of people who emigrated and we have had a lot of immigrants in the last 20 years. Not without it's problems but on the whole has been a huge benefit for the country.

@DanielGault Our Taoiseach is a straight white Irish man I think you will find.

Yes! Totally this.

lol, people are still coming here. If some are still going to Ireland it is because they are a richer country, with better opportunities and a better human rights record, not because they are afraid of us shipping them to Rwanda.

However going back to us being mythical sure you only have to look at the twats that voted for brexit and when asked questions about Ireland genuinely did not know 26 of our counties were nothing to do with them.

Lol, sorry, the taoiseach switching business has my head wrecked! But you get the general point!

Oh do not start me on that. One day Leo, then Micheal then the walking corpse. We dont make it easy for ourselves but yes I get you. I just think that Britain will not leave us alone till they get some kind of border which they failed to get in brexit.

I don't think Simon Harris is a gay man of Indian descent?

The OP isn't a 'she', @DanielGault .
