The IRC is committed to ensuring the dignity of asylum seekers and refugees is respected and that Ireland upholds the principles enshrined in the Geneva Convention. Although we do not offer individual advice or operate a drop-in centre, we advocate on behalf of all asylum seekers and refugees to ensure their voices are heard at a policy level.
