    Abstract

    Immigration into Ireland reached a record high of 70,000 in the year ending April 2005, having been boosted by large numbers of migrants arriving from the ten EU Accession States. Emigration fell again to 16,600 in the same period. The number of work permits issued in the reference period of this report (July 2004–December 2005) fell substantially reflecting the fact that migrant workers from the EU10 no longer require a permit to work in Ireland. The number of asylum applications continued to fall in the period. This decline may be related to domestic policy as new measures to speed up the asylum system were introduced as well as to a general fall in asylum applications in industrialised countries during the period (UNHCR, 2005). Recent trends in immigration and asylum are discussed in Section 2.
