    1. the real scandal will be that these people were likely housed alongside actual children and the obvious safeguarding concerns that come with that

      “The average time these adults were incorrectly presumed to be children, and were possibly living in children’s accommodation, was 57 days, Tusla said in a report” This madness has to stop. We need to start forcing airlines to photocopy passports and/or return them.

      It’s crazy that despite credible reports and how obvious it was that the asylum system is being abused in every way possible, the concept that this was happening was a far-right dog whistle for so many here on Irish reddit. We need to learn how to get along, stop calling everyone far-right/racist or woke dilettantes and unite against the crazy asylum system here, we are considered a soft-touch by economic migrants. It is known

    4. Wait until they find out all of the gay men with wives aren’t actually gay, they will be shocked. System is rife with fraud, it has been ignored deliberately for years. A lot of snouts in this trough…

      Even more worrying is that we put them into our secondary schools as kids , when they are really 23 years old .

      There’s another article in the Irish Times this morning with some analysis. 

      https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026/05/07/hiqa-pac-and-legal-professionals-all-voiced-concerns-around-safety-of-child-asylum-seekers-in-tuslas-care/

      „In the past a dental examination, including dental X-rays, were used to verify a person’s age. Ethical concerns about X-rays without any health benefit and the invasive nature of dental exams means these are no longer used.“

      What a joke. It does make me wonder though, if they’re not allowed use x-rays, what method are they using the verify a person’s age?

      This is a massive security concern and an example of the rampant abuse of our asylum system. We need massive deterrance.

      Those people should be rejected and deported immediately. It’s a pretty terrible sign if someone’s first actions in the country involve serious fraud!

    8. Now count how many of Asylum Seekers claiming they’re gay are actually lying and to lie they’re encouraged by our own tax money funded groups.

      The situation appears to be improving, from the article:

      „Tusla said it had been taking close to two months from the time it received a referral of an individual appearing or claiming to be an unaccompanied minor, and completing an assessment determining them not to be eligible for services, “and therefore an adult”.

      However, since January this year the IPO, which is run by the Department of Justice, had been conducting more robust age screenings, it said.

      [ Hiqa, PAC and legal professionals all voiced concerns around safety of child asylum seekers in Tusla’s careOpens in new window ]

      As a result, such referrals to Tusla had dropped and fewer eligibility assessments were required – leading to a shorter timescale of approximately 15 days for completed age determinations.

      “In quarter one 2026, we have experienced a reduction in the number of young people referred to the service, with 97 referrals.” This compared with 196 referrals in the last three months of 2025.

      “This reduction is simultaneous to the introduction of a new process by the Department of Justice in relation to age screening at the point of entry in preparation for the implementation of the EU Migration Pact in June 2026.”

      Anyone who lied about their age and pretended to be under 18 ,should be deported immediately.

      Maybe im being stupid, but don’t all these asylum seekers travel through safe countries to get here?

      I find all these posts from anonymous,  hidden accounts about issues around immigration seemingly intended to rile people up about a specific topic interesting.

    13. insomnium2020 on

      Not surprising. The overhaul the whole system needs is massive.
      And the people working for NGOs encouraging asylum seekers to lie about sexuality and or/make up lies about situations in their home countries as seen on that BBC investigation recently should be prosecuted for fraud

      Fairly simple, no passport no entry. You’ve come down from Northern Ireland no access to the services of the state without ID.
