Claims Ruling Allowing Asylum Seekers To Work Falls Short Of What’s Required

The Clare Immigrant Support Centre says a ruling allowing asylum seekers to work, falls short of what’s required.

The Supreme Court has today formally declared that the ban preventing asylum seekers from working is unconstitutional, having deferred the ruling for six months, to allow the Government more time to address it.

Protests have taken place across the country this week over Government proposals, which include restrictions on the type of work asylum seekers can do.

Orla Ní Eilí from the Clare Immigrant Support Centre has been telling Clare FM’s Fiona Cahill that despite reservations, it’s a move that should be welcomed.
