Introduction
Immigration is the other side of the coin. Irish people have always
emigrated; they have been refugees from Famine, labourers in the
worst-paid jobs in other societies, "illegal" immigrants
without papers or rights. Now that Ireland has become comparatively
wealthy it is beginning attract a broad range of immigrants here,
just as a broad range of Irish people went elsewhere down the years.
Those with the greatest difficulties are undoubtedly the refugees
and asylum applicants, fleeing from war, famine, persecution or
discrimination. These pages will provide some basic information.
