Human rights body says lack of resources ‘cannot be relied upon’ as excuse for not meeting obligations
The court has begun hearing the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission’s action challenging the lack of 'material reception conditions' for many adult male international protection applicants.
The court has begun hearing the IRHEC’s action challenging the lack of “material reception conditions” for many adult male international protection applicants. This is the first time the commission has used its powers, under the 2014 IHREC Act, to bring representative proceedings concerning others’ human rights.
The commission’s case follows on from a High Court decision of April 2023 that ruled that the Minister for Integration breached his obligations to accommodate an Afghan asylum seeker who had to resort to begging after arriving in the State. The court said a €28 Dunnes Stores voucher and the addresses of private charities “does not come close to what is required”.
