Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth
Integration and Refugee Issues: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. David Delaney:
The figures vary year on year, as the Deputy can imagine. At the moment, in 2023, which is good sort of stock figure to look at, one is looking at about 72% who are refused refugee status and subsidiary protection. However, a percentage of those will get permission to remain thereafter, so the overall rate would be around 66% to 68% who would be refused at first instance stage in the International Protection Office, IPO so far this year.
