International Protection Bill 2026: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2026-03-18
============================================================

Sharon Keogan (IND), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I, too, am a little confused. I want to clarify a point. With regard to this legal counselling, the business of immigration consulting has exploded over recent years. Is this is a legal framework that the Minister is putting in place to make sure that those people who are giving legal advice are accredited? That is what I want to know.
