Ireland has experienced a significant influx of immigrants, reaching a record-breaking 140,000 by April 2023, the highest in 16 years. Concerns have been raised about violence and theft in towns, allegedly perpetrated by foreigners, leading to citizens' reluctance to enter these areas, with claims that Gardai do nothing to address the situation. The government's response has included a controversial plan to build 47 houses near a nursing home for what some have called 'criminal aliens.' Additionally, the situation for asylum seekers in Dublin has become dire, with reports of individuals living in tents and makeshift campsites being moved or destroyed, including an instance just before St. Patrick's Day, purportedly to avoid negative press. Some asylum seekers were reportedly taken to a site in the Dublin mountains, provided with tents but lacking basic amenities like heating, showers, or toilets, leading them to attempt returning to the city center. The police cleared hundreds of migrants from a central Dublin campsite, moving them miles from the city. Notably, a Pakistani national who had previously tried living in Britain illegally was among those seeking asylum. There were also reports of new citizens being smuggled into Ireland and migrants facing medical problems unfamiliar to the local health system.

As we've found in Britain, migrants in Ireland are coming with medical problems alien to our health systems. Some have been found in the notorious Mount Street tent city with scabies, a mite infection of the skin. Last year 26 cases were identified. https://t.co/77KIeicEmA https://t.co/iau2f0l9xl

This is Dublin where a Pakistani national, escaping "oppression", tried Britain for 6 months illegally, but was living rough. Lost his passport & thought he'd try Ireland for a free house. https://t.co/fjFj0jAAyA

Ireland: Citizens are afraid to go into towns due to violence by foreigners & having their money stolen. Gardia do NOTHING because they don't want to be called racist. This meeting was called to oppose a govt plan to build 47 houses by a Nursing Home for the criminal aliens. https://t.co/oEx6xB9R5E
