There is hope for Ireland after all!
The ‘invasion of Europe’ is not getting there fast enough according to the Refugee Council of Ireland.
From Irish Central:
Ireland is bottom of the European league table when it comes to offering asylum to refugees – including those from war torn Syria – according to a new report.

The Eurostat report says: “The three largest groups of beneficiaries of protection status in the EU28 in 2013 remained citizens of Syria (35,800 persons or 26 percent of the total number of persons granted protection status), Afghanistan (16,400 or 12 percent) and Somalia (9,700 or 7 percent).

Ireland allowed only 150 out of 840 applicants asylum status while 55 others received interim permission to remain in the state.
The figures put the country at the bottom of the league along with the Baltic and some south-eastern European states.
