“A call for a fair transparent and prompt Asylum Process”
Cois Tine in Cork, is an outreach programme of the SMA Justice & Peace Desk, supported by other religious. It responds to the pastoral needs of refugees and asylum seekers.
During the Festival, Cois Tine launched a campaign calling on the Irish Government to
Ensure a fair and prompt Asylum process.
Give the right to work to Asylum Seekers whose applications have not been processed within six months of arrival in Ireland.
Grant residency rights to non-Irish parents with children born in Ireland who had applied for residency prior to the Supreme Court decision of January 2003.
Regularise the status of people who have been waiting more than two years for a decision on their asylum application.
Grant Asylum Seekers, who do not qualify for recognition as refuges but who are in need of protection, leave to remain on humanitarian grounds.
