You'll find the Irish stats at that link. One thing though, don't think all non nationals are asylum seekers, the vast, vast, vast mojority aren't.
Have the UK stats bookmarked (work thing) when I find them will post up
And the point I'm making is you have no idea of other sysytems (or indeed ours) so you have no basis for this apart from a couple of people you know...Quote:

Agree with who? Thats not the case at all.Quote:

Is it scaremongering?. maybee it's the Irish Inferiority complex but I honestly cant envision someone in Lagos deciding "I have to get out of this oppression. I think I'll go to Ireland" Cop on I doubt very much If there is a single Nigerian in this country that hasn't spent time living in the UK before coming here as word of mouth spreads as to how accomodating we are. I certainly havn't met any and through the course of my daily life I meet quite a fewQuote:

Does this sentence make sense.Quote:

The VAST majority of Nigerians here (who as we know from the figures given to you are a small percentage overall) defintely do not live in the UK first. I worked 6 years in theat area. Trust me I know way more than you on this topic.Quote:

Though curiously I've not once heard an American or a Briton described as a "non-national" in any Irish media. Doubt they'd use it to describe a person from anywhere else in the English speaking world either (mmmmmmmmmmaybe South Africa).Quote:

Have to laugh at Bertie's tough talk on the importance of playing by the rules on immigration while having just pledged funding to the movement to help Irish illegals stay in America. Rank hypocrisy.
does any one know why they will be killed if they go back to afganistan ??
anything to do with what they did there when they where part of the taliban . one was interviewed on the radio yesterday and when asked why they would be killed he refused to answer .
ive a feeling and its just my opinion but if nazi war criminals where on huger strike most would let them starve thats whats happening here .
I live in London and would agree with the VAST majority of Nigerians do come to London first, as there is a large Nigerian community here. Are you trying to say that they go directly to Ireland, highly unlikely...Quote:

On the Afghan hunger strikers, you can't give in to blackmail....
Not being funny but if you live in London, you'd have no clue about the Dublin situation. I do, and the vat majority of Nigerians here first settle in Ireland. Obviously not all but there you go...Quote:

On the Afghan hunger strike I must commend the government/gardai on how they handled situation... Over here you fly a hijacked plane into the country they´ll give the hijackers asylum:rolleyes:
Know some. Also worked in the area for 5 yearsQuote:
