    Abstract

    This report provides an analysis of statistics relating to migration and asylum in Ireland and is the fourth in the current series. The legally-resident population in Ireland1 grew steadily during the period in question to reach just over 4.2 million in January 2006. This growth has been driven both by net immigration and natural increase. In addition, immigration flows reached a high of 109,500 in the twelve months between April 2006 and April 2007. The main migration and asylum-related event of interest in 2006 centred on the emergence of new immigration, residence and protection legislation. A proposed Scheme for an Immigration, Residence and Protection Bill was published during the year and sought to codify legislation related to most elements of immigration and asylum systems such as visas; entry into the State; residence permits and registration requirements; removal and protection. For the first time a definition of a ‘foreign national’ was proposed as being with reference to third-country nationals from outside the European Union. A category of statutory long-term resident status was also proposed.
