These reports turn recurring government datasets into stable reference pages. Each report separates what the source counts from what it does not count, because migration statistics are easily misread when snapshots, annual totals, applications, appeals, payments, and people are treated as the same thing.

Editorial rule: use official source terminology first, state caveats before conclusions, and link to the underlying public source so readers can check the figures themselves.

How to Read These Reports

  • Arrivals are not decisions, grants, removals, or population totals.
  • Deportation orders are not removals. An order can be signed, issued, appealed, stayed, superseded, or never result in physical removal.
  • Appeals are not unique people. One person can have more than one appeal type.
  • Payments are disclosed transactions above a publication threshold, not the whole cost base.
  • PPS allocations are first-time registrations. They include Irish births and all non-IP migration routes.
  • Live Register and welfare figures are claim/recipient counts, not unemployment or welfare-dependency rates.
  • Emergency accommodation is a monthly snapshot. Monthly rows should not be added together.
