Judge ruled in April that Minister for Integration was in breach of obligations under EU legislation

The applicant, a young single male, was entitled to “material reception conditions” under the 2018 Regulations, the judge held. The Minister’s provision of a €28 Dunnes Stores voucher and the addresses of private charities “fell far short of what is required”, he said.

There were 39 asylum seeker claims for damages before the court that follow on from Mr Justice Meenan’s declarations. The State wants to proceed to contest two “lead cases” where the court will consider the issue of quantum, liability and the potential for “Francovich” damages, which are awards that may be made against an EU member state for breach of an EU law.
