What we do
Remigration Ireland monitors Irish immigration and asylum policy using official data — from the CSO, the Department of Justice, the Comptroller and Auditor General, Oireachtas records, EU institutions, and Freedom of Information requests. We do not rely on press releases. We read the source documents.
Ireland’s immigration debate has been dominated by two kinds of participants: activists who talk past the data, and government communicators who manage what the public sees of it. This site exists in the gap between them. We follow the money in IPAS procurement. We track the deportation enforcement gap. We explain the treaty obligations politicians invoke without explaining how they were acquired. We name the people responsible for decisions.
Data journalism
Official figures, sourced and presented clearly. No editorialisation of the raw data.
Accountability reporting
Named cases, named contracts, named officials. Based on credible reporting and public records.
Policy analysis
What the law actually says, what Ireland is and is not obligated to do, and what the alternatives are.
EU context
How Ireland’s approach compares to other EU member states — particularly those using available sovereignty tools.
Research briefs
Long-form documented research on specific policy questions, sourced to primary documents.
Live tracking
Updated figures on applications, costs, enforcement, and IPAS incidents as official data is published.
Our independence
- No government funding — from any source
- No party affiliation — we have covered voting records of all parties equally
- No advertiser relationships — we carry no advertising
- No NGO or advocacy funding — we are not funded by any organisation with a position on immigration outcomes
- All data is sourced to named primary sources — we do not publish claims we cannot verify
Our editorial standards
Every factual claim on this site is sourced to official data, named credible-outlet reporting, open court records, or treaty text. We distinguish between what is documented and what is alleged. We do not publish the names of people involved in ongoing criminal cases beyond what appears in credible primary reporting. We carry a standing right-of-reply offer to any named individual or organisation.
Where the data supports a conclusion, we state it plainly. Where it does not, we do not extrapolate. When we get something wrong, we correct it and note the correction.
Source first
Every figure has a named source. We link to primary documents wherever possible. If we cannot source a claim, we do not make it.
Name names
Officials who made decisions, ministers who signed legislation, companies that received contracts — accountability requires specificity.
No party line
We have covered Sinn Féin, Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and Labour with equal scrutiny. We follow the evidence, not the politics.
Corrections
We correct errors promptly and transparently. If you have found a factual error, contact us. We will verify and correct within 48 hours where warranted.
Our model
We are building the Irish equivalent of Migration Watch UK — an independent, data-driven research organisation that holds government to account on immigration policy using official statistics and primary research. Migration Watch has been cited in Parliament, in court proceedings, and by mainstream press for over two decades. Ireland has no equivalent. We are building it.
What we cover
Our research and analysis covers the full scope of Irish immigration and asylum policy: the IPAS accommodation system and its procurement failures, the deportation enforcement gap, Ireland’s decisions on EU treaty participation, organised crime connected to migration, the data on asylum applications and recognition rates, welfare payment comparisons, and the political decisions that have shaped the current system.
We also cover what is happening in comparable countries — particularly Denmark, which holds the same EU treaty opt-out that Ireland voluntarily waived in 2024, and which has used it to achieve fundamentally different outcomes. The comparison is not an endorsement of everything Denmark does. It is a demonstration that the choices Ireland’s government has made were choices, not inevitabilities.

If you work inside the IPAS system, the Department of Justice, the courts, or an accommodation provider, and there is something the public record does not yet show — we want to hear from you. We treat sources confidentially. We do not publish anything we cannot verify. We carry a formal right-of-reply on all named accountability reporting.
