Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

International Protection (Family Reunification) (Amendment) Bill 2017: Discussion

Mr. Nick Henderson:

It is a good question and I would only add to what Ms Finn has said which is that there is jurisprudence, which goes to the most senior court, the Supreme Court, where the AMS case has considered this in detail. I suggest this is the next best thing to dependency actually being spelled out in the Bill, in that we have a body of jurisprudence that includes a Supreme Court decision and practice of more than a decade.
