Abstract

In the last decade or so rapid economic growth has transformed Ireland from its long-established status as a sender of emigrants to becoming a receiver of a substantial number of immigrants, to the extent that immigrants now outnumber emigrants by a large margin. The dramatic shift towards increased immigration has resulted in a great deal of activity in policy formation and in the emergence of much new information in diverse fields, including statistics, policy and law. This Handbook aims to draw together such information up to the end of 2007 to provide a comprehensive overview of immigration and asylum in Ireland, and is intended as a reference tool for people working in the area of immigration and asylum in Ireland, including State and non-State service providers, legal and other practitioners, policy makers and researchers.
