Welcome to the Refugee Appeals Tribunal Decisions Archive
Archive Information
The Decisions Archive contains the decisions (granted and refused) issued by the Tribunal for 2006,2007,2008 and up to and including October 2009. It also contains all set aside (granted) decisions for 2000 to 2005. New decisions will be added to the Archive on a monthly basis, and other previous decisions will be added in due course. All decisions in the archive are edited to exclude any information that may lead to the identification of applicants.
Pre 2006 Tribunal decisions not contained in the archive can be accessed on the pre-existing electronic library of decisions which is situated in the Tribunal's offices. If you wish to access these decisions please contact the helpdesk - details below.
Decisions identified and requested on foot of research of the electronic library will be put on the Decisions Archive webpage where they can be accessed by registered users. Users will be informed by e-mail that the requested decisions have been placed on the website.
Decisions ‘vacated’ by the Tribunal will be removed from the Archive. If a ‘vacated’ decision is contained in your saved Research or in your Submission, the decision will be removed and replaced with a notice of its removal.
If you wish to research earlier decisions of the Tribunal, please contact the Tribunal. Earlier decisions of the Tribunal can be researched at the Tribunal’s Offices, 6/7 Hanover Street East, Dublin 2.
