Number of people seeking asylum in Ireland who can access labour market to ‘reduce significantly', analysis finds
Officials believe the number of people seeking asylum in Ireland who can access the labour market will 'reduce significantly' in the coming years. Currently, people seeking international protection can apply for work permits if they have not received a decision on their status within six monthsThey can apply for the permit five months into the asylum process. However, a Department of Justice analysis shows that legislation on labour market access 'is currently under review'. It outlines that under a new international protection Bill, which is needed to bring Irish law up to date and in line with a new European Union migration pact, most international protection applicants (IPAs) would have a first-instance decision 'within five months'. This, according to the document, means 'that the number eligible for labour market access will reduce significantly'. Once someone receives a first-instance decision, they can appeal it. But sources in the non-governmental organisation (NGO) sector are concerned that people seeking asylum will not be able to access the labour market while awaiting an appeal, under the circumstances sketched out in the document. [ Court ruling would give newly arrived asylum seekers more rights than homeless people, Minister claims Opens in new window ] The analysis is contained within a new National Asylum and Migration Management Strategy, published this week by the Department of Justice. The strategy is produced as part of Ireland's decision to opt into the EU migration pact. It also outlines that Government is to set up a new monitoring body – the Chief Inspector of Asylum Border Procedures – which will have responsibility for covering how Ireland implements screening procedures. The new office will ensure EU and international law are complied with, as well as the EU charter of fundamental rights during screenings of people from outside of Ireland and the bloc. It will also oversee the application of a new border procedure which is envisaged under the pact. The office will be charged with investigating any allegations of breaches, with provision made for inspections, investigations and dealing with complaints, according to the document. An advisory board is to be appointed which will have a membership from relevant bodies, including the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission, Tusla and the Health Information and Quality Authority. The review reiterates plans contained in an earlier document, published in March , on how Ireland plans to implement measures associated with the pact. These measures include methods to more tightly monitor those seeking asylum here or who have been given an order to leave the jurisdiction. [ Irish tech worker detained by immigration agents in US for 100 days: 'I didn't know when I was getting home' Opens in new window ] Currently, Ireland only uses detention of such individuals in very limited circumstances. It outlines that the department is 'evaluating the feasibility of using technological alternatives to detention'. These could include enabling online check-ins which capture the geographic location of a person. Other measures under consideration include IPAs being subject to regular reporting requirements, or those who are subject to return decisions being required to report more frequently to the Garda or an immigration officer. Such individuals may be required to remain in a certain geographic area, while those seeking international protection might only be granted access to services away from their assigned accommodation under limited circumstances. It also shows that travel or ID documents may be seized or held by the State.

Liffey Swim in danger of not going ahead this year because of legal dispute, court hears
A High Court judge has implored organisations involved in a dispute over the right to run the annual Dublin city Liffey Swim to resolve their differences, warning that the event is at risk of not going ahead this year. At the conclusion of a hearing into Leinster Open Sea CLG's application for temporary injunctive relief against Swim Ireland, Mr Justice Rory Mulcahy said it was 'disappointing' the dispute had not been resolved. The judge, who earlier on Friday had encouraged the parties to mediate, said the fact the dispute has put at risk the event's 2025 edition should have motivated the parties to come to a resolution. The Liffey Swim, described by the judge as 'an Irish institution', has been held annually since 1920. READ MORE Leinster Open Sea CLG, a volunteer sponsorship-funded body which organises about 30 sea races every year in partnership with local clubs, wants the court to restrain the Irish Amateur Swimming Association CLG, trading as the State-funded national governing body for swimming Swim Ireland, from holding both the Liffey Swim and the Dún Laoghaire Harbour Swim. The court heard previously that last year, as a result of the dispute, two separate Liffey swims were held and Dublin City Council – which grants permission for the event to go ahead – does not want the same thing happening this year. [ 'An amazing feeling': Sixteen-year-old wins women's Liffey Swim Opens in new window ] Mr Justice Mulcahy reserved his judgment in the application for interim relief, stating that regardless of the court's decision, the immediate future of the Liffey Swim looked in doubt. He said he found this 'personally' very disappointing. It is Leinster Open Sea's case that it has always owned and operated the Liffey Swim and the Dún Laoghaire Harbour Swim, albeit under the guise of different entities – previously as unincorporated associations, and now as a company limited by guarantee. Michael O'Doherty BL, for Leinster Open Sea, said Swim Ireland has asserted that it owns the rights to run the swims, but is silent on the basis of that ownership. Swim Ireland knows the local authorities will side with it in granting permission to hold the swim events, by virtue of its status as the national governing body for swimming, Mr O'Doherty said. Mr O'Doherty said Swim Ireland is in a 'position of power', and is happy for the dispute to remain unresolved and to maintain the status quo. Mr O'Doherty said that for this reason, his clients are forced to bring an application to restrain Swim Ireland from holding the events. [ In pictures: Swim Ireland 104th Liffey Swim Opens in new window ] Mr O'Doherty added that if the court found in favour of Swim Ireland, Leinster Open Sea would likely go out of business. His clients, Mr O'Doherty said, rely on income generated by the two swim events. He added that Swim Ireland did not stand to lose anything if it does not run the races, and pointed out that it ran its Liffey Swim at a loss last year. Peter Bland SC, for Swim Ireland, said Leinster Open Sea's application 'falls at the first hurdle', stating it has brought proceedings as Leinster Open Sea, the unincorporated association, and not Leinster Open Sea CLG, a company limited by guarantee. An unincorporated association is a nonentity in a legal sense, and cannot sue or be sued. Mr O'Doherty asked the court to amend the title of the proceedings to specify that 'Leinster Open Sea CLG' are taking the proceedings, describing the omission as a bona fide mistake. Mr Bland also submitted that Leinster Open Sea delayed in bringing the proceedings, and breached the confidentiality of previous mediation discussions. Counsel submitted that there was no basis in which the application could be granted. Mr Justice Mulcahy said he would deliver his judgment in the application for interlocutory reliefs next week. He implored the parties to seek a resolution to the dispute.

Ukraine hails fresh EU sanctions on Russia, but tensions flare with Hungary and Slovakia
Ukraine has welcomed the European Union's agreement to impose new sanctions on Russia on Friday, but Slovakia's threat to veto the package highlighted discord between Kyiv and populist governments in Bratislava and Budapest which want to preserve economic ties with Moscow. The EU's 18th package of sanctions against Russia expands restrictions on Moscow's finance and energy sectors, introduces a moving price cap on its oil exports and blacklists 105 tankers in a 'shadow fleet' that it uses to bypass sanctions imposed since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine almost three-and-a-half years ago. 'We are putting more pressure on Russia's military industry, Chinese banks that enable sanctions evasion, and blocking tech exports used in drones,' EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said. 'We will keep raising the costs, so stopping the aggression becomes the only path forward for Moscow.' Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the new sanctions were 'essential and timely, especially now, as a response to the fact that Russia has intensified the brutality of the strikes on our cities and villages'. READ MORE Yet the sanctions only passed after Slovakia finally lifted a threat to veto the package, mimicking an approach taken on other occasions by Hungary , another neighbour of Ukraine that opposes sanctions on Russia and western arms supplies to Kyiv. Slovak leader Robert Fico said he would let the sanctions pass after receiving 'confirmed guarantees' and promises. Photograph: Petr David Josek/AP Slovak prime minister Robert Fico said he blocked the sanctions six times over concerns about a separate EU plan to phase out all the bloc's imports of Russian gas by 2028, which he claims could leave his country short of fuel and facing spiralling energy costs. Mr Fico said on Thursday night he would let the sanctions pass after receiving 'confirmed guarantees' and promises on potential 'crisis solutions' from the European Commission . He and his ally, Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán , frequently try to stymie or water down EU sanctions against Russia, which they say damage their countries more than the Kremlin and will not end the invasion of Ukraine. Through a political system and state media that his ruling Fidesz party controls, Mr Orbán has also launched a campaign to demonise Ukraine, claiming its defensive war and its bid to join the EU pose a threat to the welfare of Hungarians – including the large ethnic Hungarian community in western Ukraine. Viktor Orbán wants EU sanctions against those responsible for death of ethnic Hungarian man. Photograph: Leon Neal/PA Hungary imposed entry bans on three Ukrainian military officials this week after accusing conscription officers in western Ukraine of beating to death an ethnic Hungarian man. Mr Orbán called for EU sanctions against those allegedly responsible. Ukrainian officials say the Hungarian claims are baseless. The military said the man died of a pulmonary embolism, a blood clot, several weeks after deserting his unit and later being admitted to a psychiatric clinic. 'Hungary's decision to ban three Ukrainian military officials from entering its territory is unfounded and absurd,' Kyiv's foreign minister Andrii Sybiha said. 'We reject Hungary's manipulations and we will not tolerate such disrespect for our military.' The Hungarian government's hostility towards Ukraine is likely to intensify with the approach of parliamentary elections next year. Mr Orbán is trailing in opinion polls behind opposition leader Péter Magyar and now claims – without evidence – that his rival would be a mere 'puppet' of liberal forces in Brussels and Kyiv. Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev, now deputy chairman of his country's security council, said the latest sanctions imposed by the 'European halfwits' would fail and that 'strikes against targets in so-called Ukraine, including Kyiv, will only intensify'. In a post on social media, he called hatred 'a powerful weapon' and urged Russians to 'learn to hate [Europeans] as much as our ancestors did'.
