Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 March 2021
158. Deputy Catherine Connolly asked the Minister for Justice the number of recommendations made under section 21(3) of the International Protection Act 2015 in each of the years 2018, 2019 and 2020; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [16193/21]
View answerThe table below provides the numbers of recommendations made under s21(3) of the International Protection Act 2015, in the years requested by the Deputy.
These applications for international protection were inadmissible under s.21(2)(a) of the International Protection Act 2015, as another EU Member State had already granted refugee status or subsidiary protection status to the person, which precludes them from making an application for international protection in the State.
