NATION TRANSFORMED: Irish PM Micheál Martin says Ireland is “not overrun” by immigrants as nearly 1 in 4 residents is now foreign-born.
Martin acknowledged the demographic change has been “very dramatic,” but linked it largely to economic growth, calling legal migration “part of the Irish economic story.”
@MichealMartinTD also addressed moves to tighten citizenship laws and opened the door to publishing crime statistics by nationality as crime and housing tensions mount.
The comments come after President Donald Trump warned European leaders during his Ireland visit: 'That immigration, what you're doing to yourselves, you're just killing yourselves.'
