General Scheme of the International Protection Bill 2025: Discussion
2:00 am
Ms Tracy O'Keeffe:
Again, it is envisaged that detention would be a last resort in respect of international protection applicants, as it is under the current system. Restrictions on movement, such as are envisaged in the reception conditions directive, encompass various measures such as reporting to a centre or Garda station. Detention in a closed facility would continue to be only used in exceptional cases.
