"The children themselves are rarely parties to this litigation, or joined as co-applicants... In asylum, the most neglected group... is accompanied children."

The 2023 IACBA Conference is now being addressed by the final speaker, Ms Nuala Mole, Director, AIRE Centre. We're very grateful to have the benefit of Ms Mole's immense expertise, her presentation discusses theEuropean Courts’ approach to children in migration in recent case law

"We have yet to see all that the Charter can offer in this area" a fascinating finale to Aoife McMahon BL's presentation.

We are particularly excited that the next speaker to address the IACBA Conference 2023 is a lawyer who in fact acted in a key decision discussed already today - MK (Albania). Aoife McMahon BL's presentation considers the free movement of persons and fundamental rights

"In my opinion, the most important decision recently made is this!..." An enthralling opening, analysing C-704/20 & C-39/21

The second half of the IACBA Conference 2023 is commencing now with an address from Anthony Collins Advocate General, Ireland's third ever Advocate General in the Court of Justice.

Ms Flynn BL's lecture draws to a close the first half of the 2023 Conference! Looking forward to three further contributions after light refreshments.

Ms Flynn BL analyses a decision from another area, Burke v Minister for Education [2022] ILRM 73, which suggests that proportionality, as distinct from reasonableness, is a useful tool to evaluate the validity of a decision.

Marie Flynn BL's address focusses on emerging issues in join-spouse visa applications

Dr Murphy analyses the decision of the Supreme Court in MK (Albania) "It seems that Article 8 rights will usually be engaged"

Dr Clíodhna Murphy's address now analyses recent developments in the area of Article 8 ECHR and Private Life in the Context of Expulsion

Bringing us right up to date on international legal developments, Ms Brazil SC analysed the recent UKSC decision of AAA (Syria) & ors., which considered the UK Rwanda deal. One question arising in Ireland is whether non-refoulement applies if considering a transfer to the UK.
