Don't know about Ireland's problem with (illegal) immigrants, but we in the States have a BIG problem - illegals from Mexico, China, and all points east, west, north and south. And frankly, we're getting sick and tired of it. Legal immigration - YES. Illegal - NO.
But too, beware Ireland - these people, mostly, are the dredges of their own country's society. They come to feed upon your hard working people, not lend much, if anything, to your great heritage and society. As far as 'asylum' is concerned - take a look at the past. Did they seek asylum when your Gaelic TIger was but a wee puss? Hell no, they didn't. HOpe your government (elected) are smart on this. Any adversity in publicity will effect your tourism, and that means a great deal of money being taken out of your pockets. Good luck.
