Professor Siobhán Mullally:

Given the restrictions that have been put in place by way of the interim measures which limit effective access to such a large cohort of asylum seekers, there is clearly the possibility of a legal challenge. On paper, it is effective access, but in practice it could be interpreted as being theoretical or illusory. It is not effective in practice. The restrictions are very broad, wide-ranging, and really limit access for so many people. In terms of implementing the Supreme Court judgment, it is not reaching the threshold of effectiveness.
