Leo Varadkar says Georgia and Albania driving rise in asylum-seeker numbers

The Taoiseach stressed there were still far fewer asylum seekers coming here than was the case 15 or 20 years ago.

The Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said two eastern European countries are the "big drivers" behind a rise in asylum seekers coming to Ireland.

Mr Varadkar said that Georgian and Albanian migrants are travelling to Ireland with fake documents.
