Following the introduction of Level 3 Covid restrictions across Ireland from midnight 6th October 2020, hearings before the International Protection Appeals Tribunal (IPAT) will continue to proceed as scheduled. The Tribunal provides an essential service and travel to and from it for the purpose of attending hearings is an essential reason which permits travel under the Level 3 Covid restrictions now in place country wide.
We wish to assure Tribunal users that a health and safety risk assessment has been carried out in relation to the Covid-19 control measures in place in the Tribunal and we have been advised that hearings can proceed. Please click here for details of the control measures in place.
