Immigration: Northern Ireland
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate she has made of the number of migrants coming into Northern Ireland from the Irish Republic in (a) 2022 and (b) 2024.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
Journeys from Ireland to the UK are within the Common Travel Area (CTA). As part of the CTA arrangements, the UK does not operate routine immigration controls of individuals arriving in the UK by air or sea from within the CTA, and no immigration checks are undertaken at the land border with Ireland.
