Figures on migration were on the rise in Ireland in 2023

The figure for first time applications for asylum remained on the same level, slightly above 13.000.

The Atlas delves into the complex factors and conditions that shape migratory movements, and groups migration drivers into eight dimensions: demographic, economic, environmental, socio-cultural, political, security, human development and supranational.

The thematic chapter of the 2024 Atlas provides a systematic approach to understanding these factors - known as drivers - which influence the circumstances and choices that individuals encounter when considering relocation.
