Irish High Court Rules Government Breached Asylum Seekers' Rights

The court found the state failed to provide adequate accommodation, violating the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.

Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission initiated the case against the government.
The ruling highlighted the state's inability to meet basic needs of asylum seekers, including shelter and hygiene.
Despite the breach, the court did not issue mandatory orders, acknowledging the government's ongoing efforts.
The case marked the first legal action by IHREC to defend asylum seekers' rights.
Current measures, including increased financial aid, deemed insufficient by the court.
