Ireland’s Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI), one of the top think-tanks in the world according to IDEAS, published updated immigration figures for Ireland.
2023 will be the seconded highest year in terms of immigrant inflow on the record.
Immigration between April 2022 and April 2023 increased by 31% to over 141,600 people.
Net immigration increased to 77,600, a 50% increase.
50% of this immigration is from non-EU/UK countries. By far the highest non-EU share ever recorded.
64,000 people left Ireland between April 2022 and April 2023. 48% of these emigrants were Irish. The emigration of Irishmen increased 19% from the previous year.
“In March 2022, the Irish Parliament approved participation in the EU Regulation that established the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF)”
The Irish government voluntarily opted-in to an EU refugee resettlement scheme which will see the EU and Irish state funding NGOS to resettle yet more non-Whites into Ireland.
In total, though, nearly 90,000 of the new residence have entered Ireland on residence permits. The Irish government went from issuing roughly 30,000 residents permits in a year between 2013-2020 to issuing nearly 100,000 post-2021.
Ireland’s government is enacting rapid policy changes which are radically altering the nation’s demographics.
