Here's my transcription. Could you help me please?

Should be * a little bit of reality check actually. *God* speaking *who is only stood attempt*. If he gets denied, he’s definitely not going back… he can’t go back to Iraq. So it sounds suicide for him. So, yeah, to hear that sort of stuff just sort of *knock * about it bit, you know, this bloke telling me, *, telling me about his feelings. And was asking about the sort of problems I had the Christmas Island with, without brakes of writings and that sort of stuff and he said that’s not far from happening here, which was another reality check. He basically said these people are on their third and final appeal. And if that fails, there’re… there’s no other way. They don’t want to go home. So this is why they are... they’re actually doing that… the things they’re doing.

Answer

I tried to put the repeated or unnecessary words in parenthesis.

[I cannot tell what was said right at the beginning]
Shook me up a bit.
Little bit of a reality check actually.
Guy I was speaking to is on his third attempt.
If he (if he) gets denied he's (definitely not going back to) he can't go back to Iraq so its (umm) suicide for him so (umm) yeah. 
To (to) hear that sort of stuff just sort of knocks you about a bit. 
Do you know this bloke's (telling me) opening up and telling me his feelings, and I was asking him sort of about the problems they have at Christmas along with (with) outbreaks of (of of) writing and that sort of stuff, and he said that's not far off happening here, (umm) Which was another reality check.
(umm) He basically said that these people are on their third and final (umm) appeal, and if that fails (they're) (umm) [clears his throat] that there's no other way. 
They don't want to go home so this is why they're (they're) actually doing the (the) things they're doing.

Answer

The transcription:

Shook me up a bit. (He starts to mumble here, continues without actually speaking clearly, I think he wanted to say "Gave me a") reality check actually. (God speaking to / or that's a name I can't really make out) is on his third attempt. If he gets denied he's definitely... you can't get back to Iraq so It's uhm suicide for him, so uhm... yeah... to to hear that sort of stuff just sort of knocks you down a bit, d'ya know this bloke's telling me: "open up", telling me his feelings and (he omitted the subject "I" here) was asking him about the problems that they have at Christmas Islands with the outbreaks of of (riding or writing here) and that sort of stuff and he said that's not far off happening here, uhmmm.... which was another reality check, uhhh... he basically said that these people were on their third and final, uhm, appeal. And if that fails, khmmm... there's no other way; they don't want to go home so... This is why they're... they're actually doing the... the things they're doing.

Comments:

This guy has a really strong Irish-American (I think, not really sure) accent. He stops and mumbles several times, making this very hard to understand for non-native speakers. I literally had to guess what he said based on the context since some stuff was unintelligible.
