Supreme Court Deems Asylum Seeker Work Ban ‘Unconstitutional’

The Supreme Court has found in principle that the ban on asylum seekers seeking work in Ireland, can be ‘unconstitutional’.

According to the Irish Times, the seven-judge panel found that, in principle, the ban in the Refugee Act on asylum seekers seeking employment, is contrary to the constitutional right to seek employment.

It follows a case taken by a Burmese man who spent eight years in direct provision.
