Court heard woman was refused place to stay because she left the Irish Protection Office before a taxi arrived to take her to where she would be accommodated
Over the last number of weeks she has been staying on friends’ sofas, but has also spent nights on the streets. She has no family or close friends in Ireland, the court heard. The woman has a history of mental health issues and has been self-harming. Her condition has been exacerbated due to her homelessness, it is also claimed.
The woman initially came to Ireland on a student visa, but earlier this year applied for international protection, citing a fear to return to her home country because she claims she has been harmed by and is at risk from a former partner, who has a powerful position in a well-known criminal gang. In her action, she seeks various orders and declarations from the court. These include orders quashing the Minister’s decision of May 3rd last refusing to provide her with housing, and that the Minister be required to provide her with accommodation.
