The 2025 edition of this report was written by Hayley Dowling, Trainee Solicitor at the Irish Refugee Council Independent Law Centre and edited by ECRE.
This report draws on information obtained through a mixture of desk-based research and direct correspondence with relevant agencies, and information obtained through the Irish Refugee Council’s own casework and policy work. Of particular relevance throughout were the latest up-to-date statistics from the International Protection Office (IPO) and the International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS), including their annual and monthly reports; data from the International Protection Appeals Tribunal (IPAT); as well as various reports and statements from stakeholders such as the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission, UNHCR Ireland and NGOs working on the ground with refugees and asylum applicants. The Irish Refugee Council is grateful to all colleagues for their assistance in obtaining information used to compile this report.
The update on 2025 to the AIDA country report on Ireland was shared with national asylum and reception authorities to provide an opportunity for comments. Any feedback received was reviewed by the author and, where appropriate, incorporated into the final version of the report.
The information in this report is up to date as of 31 December 2025 unless otherwise stated.
