There has been a steep rise in the number of citizens of the US seeking asylum in Ireland.
Fifty-one people from the US applied for international protection in the first half of this year, more than in 2023 and 2024 combined.
New figures from the Department of Justice show that 104 American citizens have looked for asylum in Ireland since the beginning of 2022. […]
Immigration sources said that any individual seeking international protection from the United States was likely to face an uphill battle.
“The number of claims from the US is small in terms of the volume of applications being made overall,” a source said. “However, an American citizen — like any other applicant — would have to prove they came here to escape harm and demonstrate a well-founded fear for their safety if they returned.” …

That was my recollection as well. All is not well in Ireland.
I don’t recall the specifics. Islam ? Gender issues ? Refresh my memory please.
We’re talking miniscule numbers here.
Exactly. “
Fifty-one people from the US applied for international protection in the first half of this year”
Out of what, 334 million?
Whatca freaking joke.
MSM narrative. What is unsaid is at least 100K US citizens are de facto dual citizens of Ireland by birth. If parent was born in Ireland and immigrated here, the way it works is eligible for automatic Irish citizenship verifiable by taking birth certificate to local Irish consulate
Recently eligibility for dual citizenship has been extended to grandparents
As for me will activate when Conor Macgregor runs for Irish President
NANA - “No American Need Apply”
As a mouthpiece for the current Irish "liberals," the FIFTY-ONE is somehow meaningful while the " 27,000 other EU citizens, 5,400 UK citizens, and 86,800 other citizens including Ukrainians" aren't.
Leftist propaganda, decidedly against the Trump administration, given there was no such hue and cry during the Idiot Biden's administration.
Coming soon also to Ireland:
You’re right: 51 is nothing. However, don’t slander God in your post.
More lies...?

John Brennen?

My ancestral roots are there. However, in our diocese we have had a history of missionary Irish priests who have reached retirement age. None of them want to go back. They all say the same thing, that is, “Ireland isn’t Ireland any more.”
I think the populations coming in on the boats are N African
Nothing says, “I’m a criminal”, like petitioning for asylum in another country...
Stupid Americans “seek” aslyum. Seems there is a new game afoot, called illegal invasion. The whole world is doing it!
Take them all. No one really cares. And once Ireland sees them, they will make sure to send them further east because after a month they won’t want them.
They should have their American citizenship rescinded if they pull this crap.
Let them stay where they go with no hope of returning. We don’t want them or need them here.
I went to a wedding in 03 and made the mistake of disclosing to another guest that Invited for W. The hatred was alarming. Most Of the Irish I met were moonbat leftist. As a conservative I would never go back.
Just more AWFULs seeking the geographic cure for their mental illness.
let ‘em go!!!
