758. Deputy Gary Gannon asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration the support that is offered to a person who has applied for temporary protection but is refused due to having received temporary protection in another member state. [63129/25]
Amharc ar fhreagraOn 15 July 2025, the Justice and Home Affairs Council extended Temporary Protection by a year until March 2027, providing certainty for beneficiaries who can continue to avail of the protections that the Directive provides.
Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/1460, dated 15 July 2025, directs that a person cannot be granted Temporary Protection if they already have Temporary Protection in another EU Member State.
Therefore, if a person has availed of Temporary Protection in another Member State they will be refused Temporary Protection and associated supports in Ireland. It should be noted that it is open to the person re reapply for temporary protection once they can show proof that they have withdrawn or cancelled their temporary protection in the other Member State.
