A report drawn up by former Secretary General of the European Commission Dr Catherine Day has made a number of sweeping recommendations.
ASYLUM SEEKERS LIVING in Direct Provision for more than two years by the end of 2020 should be allowed remain in Ireland for five years, a report drawn up by former Secretary General of the European Commission Dr Catherine Day has said.
An Advisory Group, chaired by Dr Day, has made a number of sweeping recommendations in its report, which is due to be published today, including a once-off grant to people who have lived in the current system for more than two years. It also recommends increasing access to the labour market.
Direct Provision was set up in 1999 in response to a sharp increase in the number of people seeking asylum in Ireland.
The system has been repeatedly criticised by migrant rights groups due to the length of time people remain in centres while their asylum applications or appeals are processed, the conditions of centres as well as the psychological effects on those living in these centres.

Exclusive: Immigration lawyers warn people eligible for UK status risk being ‘thrown into the hostile environment’ after visa system outsourced to French firm Sopra Steria
Private firms have raked in millions of pounds through the Home Office’s newly outsourced visa system as people are forced to pay “extortionate” fees and travel long distances to apply for UK status. Immigration lawyers have warned legal migrants risk being “thrown into the hostile environment” after the visa processing service was outsourced to French firm Sopra Steria last November. Those affected include some people applying for EU settled status ahead of Brexit – despite the government stating that this application is free. While visa applicants could previously go to their local post office to upload documents and provide biometric data such as fingerprints, they must now attend one of just six “core centres” across the country which offer a free service, or another 51 which charge a fee starting from £60. Sopra Steria also offers a “premium service” through a partner company called BLS, where appointments start at £200. The service made more than £2m between January and April 2019, according to data obtained through a freedom of information (FOI) request.

Divided families, divided identities: The legacy of the right of abode saga

After passing the Right of Abode law, which grants African Americans an indefinite right to stay, Ghana became the first to open its doors to people of African descent to settle in the country. African-Americans and some Caribbeans have slowly trickled back but the process of obtaining a permanent resident status is long and frustrating.
