The top 5 Countries of origin were Albania , Georgia , Zimbabwe , Nigeria and South Africa . The Figures show a total of 1,865 decisions on asylum applications were issued last year of which 47.99% were negative decisions .

its unfair on irish people who are on the housing list for years that people can just arrive at dublin airport and get housed immediately based on their word that they are an asylum seeker.

If I went to the local housing office and told them I was homeless , a full investigation would have to be done before they even put my on the housing list .

FACT . there are "NO WARS" in albania , georgia , nigeria , zimbabwe or south africa . They should Not be using the asylum system to enter Ireland , if they want to come to Ireland they should apply for a work visa like everyone else .

hundreds of people looking for homes in Donegal , some are on the housing list years , this is totally unacceptable

I read what Thomas Pringle wrote about this and I just want to say one thing .

when Irish people went to America we went through the PROPER Channels . We didn't pretend to be refugees . even during the famine we Genuinely were fleeing a natural disaster .

Compare that to today's situation . Over the past 20 years , the overall top country of origin for asylum seekers entering Ireland was Nigeria

Nigeria is a Safe country with SIX MILLION TOURISTS a year !! , The country is also huge so even if there was some trouble spots , people could just relocate to a different part . But Instead , they travel accross LOTS OF SAFE COUNTRIES to reach Ireland . Why ? because they know Ireland is a soft touch and we can be taken advantage of

why cant they do this for homeless people . There are homeless people dying on our streets , what do they get . Nothing . On the other hand , These people arrive at Dublin Airport , whisper the magic words asylum seeker and are immediately put up in either a 4 star hotel or Given their own apartments , medical cards , transportation , clothing , food , everything is given to them despite the fact most are arriving from safe countries

stats dont lie and the stats show that from 2001 to 2016 , out of 54,000 asylum claims only 8% were genuine claims . Its clear that most of these people are taking advantage of our kind nature .

Irish people are struggling to pay their own Mortgages and Bills and now they have to pay for houses for the rest of the world also , this has to stop , we need proper sensible immigration controls .

It really is sad as a country that we cant have reasoned debate without labelling people as far right , fascist , naz
