174. Deputy Thomas Gould asked the Minister for Justice if she plans to introduce legislation or other measures to implement the recommendation made in the Report of the Advisory Group on the Provision of Support including Accommodation to Persons in the International Protection Process to deal with unsuccessful applicants that are deemed non-returnable. [13588/21]
View answerThe report of the Advisory Group on the Provision of Support including Accommodation to Persons in the International Protection Process made a range of recommendations concerning improvements to supports provided to those in the international protection process, including that the State should develop a strategy and, if necessary, enact legislation for dealing with unsuccessful applicants who are deemed “non-returnable”.
I have established a High Level Programme Board in my Department to assess the recommendations of the Advisory Group that are relevant to the role of my Department and to oversee their implementation, as appropriate. The Advisory Group's recommendation in relation to 'non-returnable' unsuccessful applicants is to be considered by the Implementation Board in the first instance.
