In a unanimous decision last week, the supreme court held that the High
Court had wrongly refused injunctions halting the deportation of a Nigerian woman
and her Irish-born child pending a
decision on their challenges of deportation orders and refusal of subsidiary
protection.
The test case raises broad issues affecting other cases and shines a light
on the result of delaying decisions asylum cases over a number of years.
In this case the court found that the interference of family life of
four-year-old Daniel Okunade, who “knew no other country but Ireland” and who
could not be culpable for long delays in dealing with his case, was enough to allow the injunction.
With over 1000 asylum cases pending in this country, the supreme court
determined that the “extremely complicated” and “cumbersome” laws
regarding deportation and subsidiary
protection contribute considerably to
delays and add to the court’s difficulties.
