Context

The Irish Refugee Council [IRC] works with and for refugees in Ireland. The IRC believes, in accordance with the 1951 Convention relating to the status of refugees, that every person has the right to claim asylum and to have their application considered in a fair and transparent manner. IRC works with other organisations, activists and individuals to create a just, fair and inclusive society for people seeking asylum. The IRC has its origins in a conference which took place in Dublin in 1988 entitled Refugees in Crisis. In 1992 the IRC was formally registered as a limited company and subsequently obtained charitable status.

In 2014, The Atlantic Philanthropies awarded € 2,210,000.00 to the Irish Refugee Council. The grant titled Irish Refugee and Migrants Rights Centre - Sustaining Access to Justice and Services for Migrants and Their Families was given to improve rights of the most vulnerable asylum seekers, refugees and economic migrants by sustaining critical skills, expertise and capacity during the vital initial years of the implementation of comprehensive immigration reform.
