Remember when the failed schoolteacher from Cork tried to deny it when the Minister for Injustice, McAbsentee, admitted last year that the vast majority of "asylum seekers" were asylum shoppers arriving from Britain.
Well shock horror, the Department have just reiterated that it is the case. Over 90 per cent of asylum shoppers are rocking up at the IPAS centre on Mount Street as opposed to making a claim at the airport - where they should be arriving having fled whatever war torn country it is they're fleeing from.
Does anyone know of another country where you can brazenly stroll into the state, be provided with bread and board and be rest assured that you absolutely will not be deported under any circumstances? I imagine even the Banana Republics in Africa have more stringent checks.
Of course, as has been pointed out previously, importing an underclass of foreign men is clearly putting Irish people in danger - so an interesting question is what should happen to those responsible? Surely knowingly endangering your compatriots is the lowest of the low?

The majority of asylum-seekers arriving in Ireland are seeking protection at the International Protection Office (IPO) in Dublin, rather than at airports or ports, the Justice Minister has been told.

The increased cohort claiming asylum in Dublin is believed to be caused by those travelling from Northern Ireland and availing of the Common Travel Area with the UK.
Former justice minister Helen McEntee generated controversy last year when she claimed 80pc of asylum-seekers were coming from Northern Ireland. Micheál Martin sought to downplay that at the time, saying the figure was not “statistical”.
However, Ms McEntee’s assertion was reiterated by the department last week.
