Immigration-related detention in Ireland
The Irish Refugee Council, the Immigrant Council of Ireland and the Irish Penal Reform Trust commissioned this independent research by Human Rights Consultants in May 2004 due to an increasing number of queries relating to people detained for immigration-related reasons and a general lack of clarity and knowledge on the rights and entitlements of these people, the legal basis for their detention and their treatment during the period of detention. The research examines current legislation, policy and practice in Ireland and benchmarks this against international human rights standards.
