The organisation was concerned that a ‘lowering of the bar’ could force people to make difficult decisions
for an estimated 27,000 Ukrainians could heap further pressure on the direct provision and asylum system, the Irish Red Cross has warned.
Niall O’Keeffe, RCI head of international and migration, told The Irish Times on Wednesday that the organisation was concerned that a “lowering of the bar” would diminish the attractiveness of residing here under the temporary protection directive, and drive people from Ukraine to make an application for asylum, which has a pathway to permanent residency if a refugee or similar status is granted.
The direct provision and asylum system is already beset by long delays and backlogs, as well as a capacity issue in terms of accommodation. “We don’t have the system to facilitate that, and that would be a crisis in itself,” Mr O’Keeffe said.
