It seems to me that the Irish Refugee Council's understanding is that whether it is a statutory instrument or primary legislation there should be a legal basis for a vulnerability assessment, not just that it is done in practice and the resources are put in place.

There has to be a statement somewhere in Irish law, whether in regulation or statute, that every asylum seeker is entitled to a vulnerability assessment.
