Subsidised to Survive: Ireland's Migrant Enterprise Grants and the Missing Commercial Test
An audit of migrant-enterprise and social-enterprise grants, the published eligibility rules and the commercial evidence government does not publish.
The conversation Ireland needs to have
The housing crisis. The hospital queues. The changing face of every town. It’s all connected. We’re here to show you the data — and build the movement that says enough.
Each issue guide connects the plain-English question to reports, investigations, case evidence and the limits of what current data can prove.
Worker displacement, wage evidence, JobsPlus, enterprise grants and the limits of national datasets.

Remigration is the idea that immigration policy should include a return element — that people who entered a country illegally, whose asylum claims were rejected, or who have no legal basis to remain, should be returned to their home countries.
It’s not extreme. It’s not radical. It’s how immigration law is supposed to work. Every EU member state has deportation mechanisms. Ireland simply chooses not to enforce them.
The remigration movement across Europe — in Germany, Austria, France, and now Ireland — is growing because ordinary people are asking a simple question: if the rules exist, why aren’t they being followed?
Ireland already has deportation orders on the books. Enforcement historically sat at roughly 3%. We’re asking for the law to be applied — nothing more.
300,000+ Irish citizens on housing waiting lists while emergency accommodation is provided to those with no legal right to be here. The priorities are backwards.
Ireland can welcome people — on Ireland’s terms, at Ireland’s pace, in Ireland’s interest. Mass uncontrolled immigration benefits nobody except landlords and low-wage employers.

Every immigration policy change since 2024, documented and explained. The rolling record of how Ireland’s immigration system really works.
The Irish State paid private operators roughly €1.6 billion in 2025 alone to accommodate international-protection applicants — a single year that exceeds the entire first 20 years of direct provision combined. The Comptroller and Auditor General documented that 161 of 325 centres housing 13,785 people had no signed contract at the end of 2024. Ten named case files. Apollo via Luxembourg. Mosney via the Isle of Man. The State is being sued by five providers it backed out on.
