Ireland's New Age Assessment System for Asylum Seekers
Description
Irelands asylum process is evolving, with the International Protection Office taking over age assessments from Tusla, starting June 12th. This shift aims to reduce mix-ups and improve accountability, as past errors saw nearly three hundred adults posing as minors. The new system involves a multidisciplinary approach, with Tuslas input, and an advocate for each person. If tests are inconclusive, the individual is initially treated as a minor, but if later found to be an adult, they return to adult asylum processing. This change is part of the EU Migration and Asylum Pact, aiming to better protect genuine minors and streamline the process.
