Hi,
I have been banned from other sites for producing this information .
The figures are from the
www.cso.ie The Irish statictics office 2011 census.
Total population of the Irish Republic 4,524281
Total born outside Ireland 766281
Total African population 54419 documented increase 17.9%
on 2006.
Total Polish 122585 increase 93.7% from 2006 .
The government had an Asylum agreement that you could only seek asylum at the first port of entry .The majority not disputed have come from the UK and sought asylum here when they were refused in the UK.There was no agreement on information sharing to identify them.They come and still do across the non existent border from Northern Ireland.There was also the Irish born children rule and that parents could get citizenship here if a child was born.A referendum changed this rule in 2004.Most live in rented accommodation now provided by the state and welfare .I believe many will never work .Over 90% of asylum claims are false it could be even 95%.
In 2006 the government allowed new EU members to come with only the restriction that they need to work 2 years before they can claim welfare.
The new EU members can claim welfare here and also a child allowance even if the children do not live here.The welfare is less in Poland for example.
These new EU immigrants worked here believing that they had a future but many lost their jobs and now claim welfare.
There is an increase in the issue of Irish passports which will give our 'new Irish' rights to bring family here.
There was a warning in 2006 that when EU structural funds finished it would mean a slow down in the economy.
What is astonishing the government heeded no warnings and examples of immigration in other countries.
I have worked 38 years and lost my job.I now queue for welfare and see those that just came here by deception getting money with a smile on their faces. This is not racist I just feel let down by government. There is now cuts to welfare,property tax and water rates.The number of Irish leaving is to work abroad is 40,000 each year 2009-2011. We export workers and import immigrants to claim welfare and state housing.
Remember foreigners are racist too and that includes blacks.I attended an international college of many nationalities and was subject to racial taunts from blacks.I did not take it serious however.
The illegal Irish in the USA work do not claim welfare and some even pay taxes. We are not a nation that had colonies but were ruled by Britain and were downtrodden.Looks like we are now fair game again or the usual phrase a SOFT TOUCH .
Jaysus you can find sheep easier than illegals and shop around asylum seekers
