We have an extensive database of questions on this site about various problems when crossing the UK border. Citizens of nationalities who are visa-free for both Ireland and the UK might therefore consider entering the Common Travel Area through an immigration point in Ireland, especially if they've previously had issues with border control in the UK. Some people might also believe that they might "obfuscate" their problems with the UK authorities by entering through Ireland.
Would this strategy make sense, considering whatever statistics are available about denials of entry at Irish and British borders?
