It is very frustrating but we need to discuss in private session how we escalate this, maybe by writing to the Minister. It needs to be escalated and the committee has a responsibility to address this. It should be done through primary legislation. The restriction existed in primary legislation such as the International Protection Act 2015 and others before it.
If the Government deals adequately, although I am sceptical about that, with the right to work and legislates for the Supreme Court decision, will Ireland be in compliance with the directive?
