Statistics

The below resources provide an overview of key statistics in relation to asylum and migration in Ireland, regionally and internationally.

Asylum and immigration systems categorise people as asylum seekers, refugees, forced or economic migrants. Yet it is important to remember that first and foremost these are people – people who share the same human condition that we do, who share the same hopes and dreams of a better life for themselves and their families.

Behind the numbers and statistics are people with names and faces.
