International Protection Bill 2026: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2026-03-19
============================================================

Victor Boyhan (IND), Agricultural Panel

I move amendment No. 24:
In page 25, between lines 18 and 19, to insert the following:
“Report on treatment of refugees and asylum seekers
7. (1) Within 12 months of the passing of this Act, the Minister shall produce a report on the treatment of refugees and asylum seekers.
(2) The report shall analyse the effects of this Act and include details as to whether immigrants are receiving appropriate legal counselling and are being treated humanly in detention in line with national law, the European Convention on Human Rights, and the UN Charter.
(3) The report shall be laid before both Houses of the Oireachtas.”.
This amendment is self-explanatory. The Minister no doubt has a response. The amendment relates to the laying of a report on the treatment of refugees and asylum seekers. I look forward to hearing what the Minister has to say.
