The International Protection Act 2026 gives effect to the measures of the EU Migration and Asylum Pact.
A new State body, the Tribunal for Asylum and Returns Appeals (TARA) was established on 12 June 2026 to assess appeals under the 2026 Act.
If you have applied for international protection on or after 12 June 2026, and you have received a first-instance decision, please contact TARA if you wish to appeal that decision.
The International Protection Appeals Tribunal (IPAT) will continue to operate and process appeals under the existing International Protection Act 2015 (as amended) i.e. those applications determined by the International Protection Office before 12 June 2026.
Please note that the IPAT will not receive any emails or correspondence sent to the TARA. When corresponding with the IPAT, please ensure that you are using the correct address/email address.
