Among the most popular myths associated with asylum-seekers are claims that they are 'all here illegally', that 'Ireland is taking in more than any other EU country' and that 'they aren't garda vetted.'
A total of 13,227 people sought international protection in the State last year, figures show, down by 400 on the previous year. The numbers do not include the 102,000 Ukrainians who have fled to Ireland since Russia invaded their homeland in February 2022.
