In response to a Parliamentary Question from Rural Independent TD for Laois/Offaly, Carol Nolan, the Minister for Justice, Helen McEntee, supplied figures which show that between the beginning of 2022 and March 31 this year, a total of 10,081 persons had arrived into the state and been found to be in possession of false or no documentation.
The tables supplied by the Minister for that period reveal that more than 1 in 5, or 21%, of those arriving with false or no identification, came from Georgia, with 2,156 persons recorded since January 2022. As we have pointed out previously, Georgia is not a war-torn country.
A further 15%, or 1,529 persons came from Somalia without correct papers, while another 990, or almost 10% came from Zimbabwe.
A previous analysis showed that 85% of people who applied for asylum at Dublin Airport in 2023 arrived without correct identification.
The table below details the number of arrivals who were not in possession of correct identifying documentation or had no identifying documentation in 2022.
| Nationality | Total |
| Georgian | 1538 |
| Somali | 920 |
| Zimbabwean | 540 |
| Syrian | 506 |
| Iranian | 391 |
| Kuwaiti | 316 |
| Eritrean | 233 |

| Ethiopian | 34 |
| South African | 31 |
| Togolese | 27 |
| Sri Lankan | 26 |
| Others | 170 |
| Total | 5800 |
The total number for 2022 was 5,800. The main nationalities were Georgian, Somali, Zimbabwean, Syrian and Iranian. The Minister, in her response, claimed that there had been a “significant reduction” in the numbers who presented without the proper identification in 2023, but that still amounted to 4,159 persons.
Georgians, Somalians, Zimbabweans and Syrians again were among the leading five nationalities in 2023 along with 472 persons from China. As Gript has previously reported, based on other official statistics, most of those who arrive without proper documentation are still allowed to enter the country and to apply for asylum.

Thank you O Gorman you reckless , irresponsible buffoon.
Every single person who arrives here without documentation should not be allowed to leave whatever mode of transportation they arrived in. Send them back to where they came from immediately. Of course this is not going to happen because the government is not concerned about the safety of the Irish people. They are working for the EU/NWO and they have to follow their orders. Things will only change when the government are forced to do the will of the Irish people. Erin go Brea.
That aul war torn situation in Georgia is terrible alright. Oh yeah I forgot, they are all claiming they are gay as Christmas and they are in fear of their life. My personal favourite where the RCC are helping is where they say they want to be Christian and they would be killed at home while the Jordanians are claiming they are Palestinians. Tayto is now saying the cost of deportation is a problem but she has no problem in paying billions for them to live for free for years on end. Thundering liar in fairness.
Carol Nolan for Taoiseach!
This is a strategy to defraud the Irish state. Put them in a cheap prison camp until they identify themselves…basta! The World is very simple.
inside job with pre knowledge of future politics,who bought up the spaces knowing the generated income ,who set up the company’s for this intake ,all payed by Irish tax money,this is the biggest fraud scandal not being investigated by orange order ex ruc M15 agent head Garda , do yet maths you will not get a better answer
returning Irish don’t get it half as good as these
10,000+ illegals here counted out for us, all taking up accomodation. We will get them evicted and the Irish put in their place, after the next election. We must work on getting nationalist candidates elected for this to happen. That’s before we even count all the Ukrainians who must be ticketed for out. That will be a good start to give the Irish a footing in their own country. Anyone here without ID, is here to tell lies and to suckle off the Irish taxpayer. Free legal aid has to be cut off too for those fighting deportation. The hate law to protect these illegals will have to be dumped. The advocacy NGOs must be defunded. What’s happening is pure corruption. We do not have a working government. Everything they do is the reverse of right. Getting rid of them will set us free. Illegals go home, Irish come home.
The Irish can be put in temprorary mobular houses and real houses.Stop all contracts with hotels immediately and let then rot.Botcott the lot of them, every hotel that housed fakeugess should be boycott and any companies that profited off irish tax payers should be boycott.Scum of the earth.
A few years ago I was visiting Tblisi, Georgia. My wife travelled separately and arrived a day later, She had a valid visa and passport. The Georgian cop denied her entry and she was put back on the plane back to Dubai.
.
If its good enough for Georgians too peremptorily deny entry to persons with visas, why can’t we to persons with no documents?
10,000 people who shouldn’t be here competing with the Irish homeless. And 500,000 working visas of which 20% are for low economic value. Our politicians seem hell bent on building an economy that exports young Irish brains and welcomes unskilled, poorly educated, with little or no English who are seeking welfare and minimum wage. What the actual @&€k!!! Aaaaaahhhhhh beam me up you @&€ing gobshites!!!!
All by design, destroy the nation state, rid them of the indigenous ppl, import cheap and controllable labour and addict the rest to welfare, a controllable low IQ population, globalism 101
And yet, a recent EU report put the skills shortage in EU countries at 45%. Ireland the highest at 81%.
Pretty obvious that migrants are not filling the job gaps as claimed by governments because they are unskilled illegals.
The unemployjent rate of the under 25s across the EU stands at 25% excluding students. Spain at 25%, Greece at 27%, Ireland at 11% and Slovenia, the lowest at 2%.
Poverty rates are also rising across the EU. Yet our government are committed to bringing in even more people to raise the poverty levels even higher.
The ones that came with correct documentation can be processed fairly.Jail and send home the rest,send at least one message of intent.I doubt there are many real refugees there then.Add that then to the ukrainians and we are left with what a few Somalians.If they are Muslim and there daughters have had FGM inflicted on them send them home.Sudanese should not be coming here if they are muslim either,plenty of other places to go and persecute people,maybe head to Nigeria with Boko Haram and kidnap a few girls from schools.So really the true number is near zero.Send Syrians back to Assad for their roll in destabilising the country.Send Afgans home just like Pakistan,they are all women suppressors and Taliban.Maybe take in the Zimbabwean white people who have been persecuted and thrown off their land.They would be good productive farmers.
Just another thing,what is it exactly they are falsifiying? Nationality,age,religion,name ? All quiet serious in relation to terrorists.If the first thing you do on setting foot in a country is a crime well then the future looks bleak for Ireland.Ukrainian scammers and fakeugee criminals,there is no debate there.
I am okay with white Christian people being persecuted coming here from Africa.I am athiest by the way but not suicidal .We need productivity and who better than farmers thrown off their lands.
The following probably is of no great moment (seeing as this country is so rapidly “disappearing down the plughole”) but in Norris v. Attorney General – back in the 1980s – one judge, at least, of the Supreme Court said a deliberate policy not to prosecute (in that case certain homosexual acts criminalized by an 1860 Act – now repealed) would be unlawful. Whilst I understand there has been, lately, one successful prosecution for “arriving without papers”, the figures set out above bear out what many of us have suspected – namely that the relevant requirement in the Immigration Act – to be in possession of certain travel documents – is more “honoured in the breach than in the observance” by a “certain class of arrivals” in this country. I told a FG councillor – who darkened my door last night “looking for a vote” – what I thought of this whole situation – the chap seemed to think that such issues – being “at the national level” – weren’t his business – FG, FF etc. are in for a rude awakening in the coming local and European elections !!
Anyone else notice the profound silence from Sinn fein the last few weeks?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXAyS-qzA90 get this out everywhere so people understand what there vote means
I’m an Irish emigrant. My children were born in my new country but don’t have right to nationality here. So they’re still just Irish. For them to enroll in school here (a private school that the government doesn’t have to pay for), I have to submit paperwork. Father passport. Mother passport. Child’s passport. All our visas. Public health form confirming their vaccination history. Detailed health report signed by doctor. Results of the child’s blood test & stool test.
But people can sally into Ireland having thrown away their passports.
same as me lol my kids born and reared here my daughter 17 yrs old has a disability last year her medical card needed to be renewed sent everything in no issue but still had to fight tooth and nail for it and we only got it a few weeks ago took them nearly a year to hand it over she is well entitled to it as she is Irish but in the mean time the cost on her and me without her medical card was breaking us finically makes ya sick don’t it lol you follow the rules abide by the laws and treated with such discontent but if ya chuck ya passport away before landing here they put out the red carpet
They’d win the next election hands down if they just said they would deport all illegals and secure irish borders (you know..IRELAND..the country they claim to love so dearly and 6 counties even more so)
Last December, the Irish Times ran a piece on an unnamed Georgian man who brought is family here and had ‘destroyed his passport as he had been advised this would buy him more time’. The article then went on to explain he came here to claim asylum as he heard it was a nice life…
They tell you about is and then pretend it’s not even a problem.
I will say, credit to the FFG government (a rare credit), but it seems their bookkeeping is good. Carol Nolan asks them for info every day at this stage and they provide it. Maybe it’s low standards on my part, but at the very least FFG provide accurate data in a timely manner. There’s probably 160 countries in the world where these answers either wouldn’t exist or would be manipulated.
I would say that they keep records now thanks to people like Carol Nolan and Gript,the only independent news outlet in Ireland who ask these gutter snipes the real questions that RTE,newstalk have refused to do so.
meh who cares lets just wipe out the Irish, they deserve it because we are just animals, can not wait until the civilized people take over…who cares about the vote being in favor lol thankfully there is a veto and the US keep telling us our freedom of choice does not matter
you people make me sick….again YOU PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK…the majority of you here…nasty
🤣
oops are you ok…. when I applied for an Australian visitor visa 35 years ago I had to have a full medical (paid for by myself), and police vetting along with ‘who’ I was going over to ‘perhaps’ visit in the country….. and my reasons for travel….. … and of course my passport And when my parents moved to Brussels from Belfast ( my father was appointed to teach in the European school in Brussels) in 1973 they had to be vetted and health checked …. as was the policy of the ‘Common Market’ as it was known then. Don’t know what is going on now…. looks like total meltdown with no genuine and compassionate elected leaders in control….. just grovellers on big salaries.
another mainstream brainwashed lemming/bot
Having a meltdown . Oh no people are allowed opinions here.
Makes no sense whatsoever.
“We are just animals?”
Enough with the plural,that should be singular.
Typical gobshite with no insight,just an attempt at a lazy insult.Waster begging wasters to come.
she is a bell end lol
Why dont you jump in a tent with a few single sudanese or pakistani males and tell them how great they are.Stay the night sure. 🙂
That’s a pretty vile comment shane.
Sorry Patrick.I dont know what to say.I got carried away
