On top of tens of thousands of Ukrainian arrivals, open borders Ireland is now dealing with a massive spike in the number of non-Ukrainians entering the country to seek asylum.
Having promised to take in hundreds of thousands of migrants ostensibly from Ukraine while also implementing a near blanket amnesty for illegals already in the country, open borders Ireland is now dealing with a massive spike in the number of asylum claims arising from outside the country.
The sudden increase — which authorities reportedly see as unexpected despite their soft approach towards illegal immigration — is putting even more pressure on Ireland’s already failing infrastructure, with the head of one populist party in the country accusing the government of enabling a “second plantation”.
According to information seen by the Irish Examiner, around 4,500 people from outside Ukraine have claimed asylum in Ireland so far this year, with over 1,450 making said claim within the last month alone.
This is despite the fact that the government only reportedly expected total of 3,500 non-Ukrainian asylum claims to be made throughout the entirety of 2022, a prediction that has now been blown out of the water.
Officials now reportedly expect that this surge will put even more pressure on Ireland’s already crumbling housing infrastructure, with the country currently in the midst of a crippling housing crisis which has seen native first-time buyers almost completely priced out of the market.
Though this increase will no doubt only add to the current havoc within Ireland’s housing, healthcare and public transport systems, the significant percentage hike in the number of de jure non-Ukrainians claiming asylum in the country is ultimately a drop in the ocean compared to the tens of thousands of ostensibly Ukrainian refugees already in the state.

Sounds familiar.
Sad that modern Ireland is so Godless. Makes it hard to have much sympathy for it in 2022.
Pretty countryside. Would love to be an illegal immigrant for three or four months. But having been there , i can attest to failing infrastructure. The country wasn’t built to hold that many people. Loss of agrarian beauty and what ancient historical sites have lasted this long are now pushed into destruction.
An overused country, that’s what it is. Too many footprints .
Ireland is enjoying their ongoing Camp of the Saints moment. But hey - after 700 years of bad decisions, why stop now?
Like Galileo, he was forced to recant his heresy!
But time revealed the truth that both were speaking--and the contempt for truth which allowed their persecutors to cling to their cherished but false narrative.
Time will also reveal the truth that is heresy to the wokies--and the contempt these sick wokies have for truth--and the evil which blinds them and prevents them from seeing truth.
