Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Access to the Labour Market for International Protection Applicants: Discussion

9:00 am

Ms Emily Logan:

That is probably a role for the Department of Justice and Equality to determine. We are just making the point that the current documentation provided to people is not reaching a threshold where it is considered valid documentation to access, for example, a bank account or a driving licence. Those issues, which appear minor, are, administratively, a huge barrier for people on the ground, and they could very easily be resolved.
