'Club class' illegals pay £10,000 to reach Britain via Ireland

Cost of people smuggling was raised in another thread, seems the figure has gone way up- maybe reflecting the costs and dangers of a successful transit. So the question remains- why britain over Ireland, or does the relative ease with which a migrant can escape in Ireland answer this question?

You have 0% chance of getting through immigration in Dublin Airport with dodgy documentation.

Nobody, I would say with reasonable confidence, has passed through Dublin Airport that was of an alternative skin colour to white, with dodgy documents.

In any event, the GNIB assert that most of the asylum seekers here come through Northern Ireland/UK and NOT the other way around.

And there's going to be lots of it.
