Mr Justice Charles Meenan made the comments in an application by an Afghan man who has been sleeping on the streets since arriving in Ireland at the end of last month. The man has been attacked, robbed and racially abused while sleeping rough, the court was told.
Mr Justice Meenan refused to adjourn the case until Monday as requested by lawyers for the State, instead requesting a response from the State by Friday afternoon. He was told there was no accommodation available and was advised to stay with friends or relatives. He informed the IPO that he had no friends or family in Ireland. He was given a €25 voucher, with which he bought blankets and a pillow.
When the case first came before the judge yesterday, he had asked to be provided with information on any accommodation provided by charities. Mr Conlan Smyth said the pressure on the State in relation to accommodation for international protection applicants was"immense and unprecedented" and all available to the IPAS was filled and vacancies were being allocated on a chronological basis. He said there was a reasonable prospect that the applicant in this case would be offered accommodation sometime next week.
Send him bk to his own country....
Immediately return the undocumented
Send him back on the Ryan air flight he arrived on..another self entitled scrounger
Has he provided proper identification and travel documents and evidence from where he travelled from, as their is no direct flights from Afghanistan to Ireland. He should have been put back on the next flight to France UK, what ever safe country he left to milk the system here.
If this 'Refugee' wins his case ,it will open the floodgates. Why did he not apply for International protection while he lived in France for seven months ?
The judge in question should have a read of the Dublin agreement.
The Shill Judge is quoting EU Directives If he done his homework he would know that there are no direct flights from Afghanistan to Ireland, so this migrant obviously passed through many safe countries first If you can qoute the rules judge, you can fookin obey them
Relax people. This is just a show for EU members to pretend there's action taken and nobody rejects refugees
How about a lawsuit against the government and relevant ministers by concerned citizens,? Ministers are already warned they are liable for any damage caused by their newly arrived umdocumented friends.
Could not make this up
The legal profession are coining it and that is their only motive in this regard, the whole process is pure profiteering in league with the NGOs. Time to call a halt to this nonsense and invoke any get out clause possible. Ridiculous bringing this to court, a piss take
We are a fecking joke of a country
Seriously ? What about single Irish females already in this country,this young girl is completely homeless,disabled with a heart condition she has had open heart surgery for in the past,no addictions,been trying to keep her little job down,she has been told since Nov 2021
Seriously ?
That's what happened in England with home secretary Pritti Patel.,..British and European courts stopped her attempts to deport people arriving on boats and send some to Rwanda....She gave up in the end....
When is there going to be a legal challenge for the right to remove the people who came here illegally or is that to much to ask .
Every homeless Irish citizen should sue the state so. Equality and all.
So a non-Irish man has a legal right to accomodation in Ireland but an Irish citizen does not. All Irish homeless should just pretend to be from Narnia and seek Asylum. Sometimes our country is just mental.
This scammer had traveled through Iran Turkey Serbia and France and paid a trafficker to into a container from Cherbourg/ France to get here, and he's suing the State 🤣🤣🤣 .. Over 19,000 seeking asylum through International Protection, the vast majority are Men.Unbelievable 😂
How does an Afghan man figure out how to take a high court challenge in just 1 month in-country? The taxpayer funded NGOs, that’s how. Somebody is financing this, paid for by tax money. Who? Cut all NGO funding.
The legal profession are coining it and that is their only motive in this regard, the whole process is pure profiteering in league with the NGOs. Time to call a halt to this nonsense and invoke any get out clause possible. Ridiculous bringing this to court, a piss take.
The plantation of Ireland will roll on whatever the outcome.
This is infuriating What about our own homeless if this goes ahead they should sue the state also maybe then they will listen
This is turning into a right mess.All because this Government hasn't a clue. Does this judge and everyone else, not get it. Ireland Is Full. Who is funding this Afghan Gentleman to take a high court challenge. Its A Joke. What About Our Own. As Always Nothing been done for them.
Sounds like we urgently need a referendum?
Could he not have stayed in Bulgaria?
I support this unnamed Afghani in his legal challenge. Only when he wins and the entire asylum system is forced to collapse will the government properly admit that irelandisfull and abide by the opt out that everyone in this country wanted with regard to EU asylum agreements.
If they are not happy, they can feck off back to where they came from
Palmerston road where all the barristers live can put up a few
Deport him, he's illegal. Go back to Afghanistan
There's a bunch of potential unintended consequences that could flow from this case, including: The State opting out of its EU refugee convention obligations, rather than facing the prospect of being sued by thousands of IP applicants, for whom no available accommodation exists
