Two Afghan males who brought legal proceedings now staying in State-provided accommodation
One of these applicants claims he is a minor, but there is an “ongoing dispute” about his age and he has now been housed in an adult-only centre, said Mr O’Dwyer.
Declarations from the court would assist in future similar cases, including two recently filed in the court, and indicate what remedy the court would give for the alleged breach of rights. They would also assist people in bringing claims for damages for these alleged breaches, he added. Mr O’Dwyer said there was a difference between the Minister admitting there is a duty on him to accommodate asylum seekers and the court declaring that the Minister has breached his duty in that regard.
