We, the undersigned, are asking the Irish government to review our lenient immigration laws. The landscape of Ireland has changed too rapidly, too drastically. We are sending funds overseas to developing countries while also spending billions on asylum seekers here also since 2000.
Ireland has major difficulties regarding healthcare, education, housing and homelessness and we just wish the government to tackle these issues before thinking of helping overseas countries.
We also are aware the working group are submitting a report to the Oireactas in June, we would like to ask the government not to make Ireland more attractable to 'asylum seeking shoppers' by vastly improving asylum seekers lifestyles in Direct Provision. Instead we ask you to implement a single, fast track application with status approved or denied within 6 months and deportations to be carried out promptly for failed asylum seekers.
We ask that the government not grant asylum seekers the opportunity to work or to access free 3rd level education as this will make a farce of our fair study and work visa systems and which will increase our numbers of immigrants coming to Ireland under the guise of asylum seekers. Also that the Irish government have stricter policies in relation to granting non nationals Irish citizenship.
We call on the government to restrict the number of mosques being built in future in Ireland as they change Irish landscape too much which can have an impact on our tourism.
We call on the government to extend the 2 year working rule of non Irish citizens to social welfare entitlements to 5 years. We also ask that offshore processing be considered when processing asylum seekers to eradicate the threat of terrorists entering Ireland as asylum seekers. This would be in the greatest interest of all Irish citizens which is the primary role of our government.
This petition is open to people from all over the world as tourism is vital to our economy and as such, we feel it's important to hear views about how fast Ireland is changing from people overseas and to give tourists a chance to speak on this topic.

I honestly never thought this would hit triple digits so fast but here we are with a hundred people wanting the exact same changes to the current system. It is wild to see how many folks feel like the housing and healthcare crises are being ignored while the government stays focused elsewhere.

Ireland certainly needs to look at these laws.. So much has changed in many years our country needs to cop the F on and stand there ground.. They should look at the laws Australia has ppl aren't fast tracking over there.. Are ppl are being made homeless and being pushed out while the Ireland we grew up in is fast changing!!!
It's time we regained control of our borders. Fraudulent asylum seekers, bogus language students and those entering into sham marriages with EU nationals for visa and residency purposes should be clamped down upon.
Every illegal immigrant is a burden on the taxpayer & foreign workers deprive native Irish of jobs, forcing natives to emigrate while foreigners pour in. The economy is in a shambles in no small part due to immigration.
I ask my government to think of our people the irish citizens. I love my country and I would like to think you love it and our irish citizens as much as I do..
Charity begins at home. Look after the vulnerable people in Ireland first and foremost. The Irish people elected you , as an IRISH government., that is where your priorities should be this is your ONLY duty
Something needs to be done quickly, we can't house the people that reside here, as it is.
Agreed with most iv heard, but I have heard about spousal visa agreement to be tightened.... I dont agree with a Brazilan wife , she came and joined me in Ireland and we are happily married with adequate time to make sure it is 100% before she is entitled to a citizenship. I think this system works just fine. Maybe you could tighten up on doing more random type testing of couples to make sure there relationship is real.

Even being a foreigner living in Ireland, I agree that the country should implement more strict immigration laws as the mass immigration of non Europeans is bringing bad points to the Irish society.
