Why Ireland is Suddenly Declaring War on Immigration
Ireland, built on emigration, now faces an immigration crisis as asylum claims skyrocketed 413% since 2021, overwhelming its broken housing system. With 80% of migrants entering via Northern Ireland’s open border and costs hitting €84 per asylum seeker daily, public backlash has surged – 75% believe Ireland took “too many refugees.” Far-right riots and slashed support for Ukrainian refugees reveal a nation torn between economic needs and anti-immigrant sentiment, epitomized by Conor McGregor’s presidential campaign. Once welcoming, Ireland now mirrors Europe’s immigration paradox. #ireland #economy #europe Credit to : GEOPOLICA
