The High Court has found that a Zimbabwean national has failed to establish substantial grounds upon which to seek the judicial review of a finding made against him by the International Protection Appeals Tribunal (IPAT).
The Zimbabwean national left Zimbabwe in 2008 and moved to South Africa. He resided there for 14 years until March 2022 and then came to Ireland.
He sought international protection on 28 March 2022. He was interviewed, completed the application for international protection questionnaire and attended an interview with the International Protection Office on 20 October 2022.
He received the IPO decision on 24 January 2023 refusing him a refugee status declaration, a subsidiary protection declaration and permission to remain. He then lodged a notice of appeal on 10 February 2023.
However, The High Court has now found that the International Protection Appeals Tribunal was correct in its initial decision.
As part of his appeal process the Zimbabwean national claimed that he was in fear of ‘being found’ by the Zimbabwean Government and the ruling Zanu PF party due to the fact that he had posted critical anti-government comments on Twitter, although as the High Court observed, legal submissions submitted to the IPAT make reference to the man posting anti-government material online in one sentence only.
The International Protection Office in its assessment of his application rejected his claim to a fear of being found on the basis that the applicant had also voluntarily disclosed on his LinkedIn account his personal details, including where he lived and worked in Zimbabwe and South Africa, that he was laid off from his job in South Africa in 2021 and that he was now resident in Ireland.
The IPO found that this publicly disclosed information undermined his claim that he was in fear of being found by Zanu PF or the Zimbabwean authorities in South Africa or elsewhere. The High Court agreed.
With respect to the applicants online posts on Twitter the High Court decision pointed to the fact that the Appellant’s Twitter account was not in his name and “there was no evidence offered that anyone would know or be able to detect who was the author of the tweets he posted using a pseudonym or that his accounts were seen or monitored by any Government officials, Zanu PF members or otherwise.”

He does not have to worry, he can stay here as long as he likes, nobody will remove him. He will get a nice letter to leave instead. 1 down, 1 million more to go.
To think this nonsense is being dealt with by the High Court, and all the money that entails. There should be no grounds to appeal, and our rejection rate should be way up there in double digit %s. These NGOs facilitating mass economic immigration and jamming up the system with appeals have got to go too, they are of no value to Ireland.
Personally I’d drop him off in Zimbabwe. If it turns out he was telling the truth, my bad, should have stayed in South Africa.
All of these NGOs facilitating mass economic immigration should be charged with human trafficking, but we all know thats never going to happen

How much has this individual cost t taxpayer from t day he arrived? And I’ll bet he has contributed €0 to our economy.
Cut off state funding for appeals. That will end it. Deportation means deportation for the bogus. We must elect as many nationalist politicians as we can, who will oppose the mass immigration racket and get the wasters out. Is there wind of an election before the winter? This govt cannot last. They do not represent the people and never did.
All funded by the taxpayer ,Zimbabwe or Rwanda leave
The NGO gravy train continues. In Spain, migrants are brought to ex-military camps, NGO’s are denied all access and decisions are final, followed by deportation. The rights of the Spanish people are paramount and always put ahead of the wants of the immugees. This model would be a good first step for us here.
DEPORT HIM FFS!!
More BS – Denmark wouldn’t go through this palaver – it’s not complicated but I know the Tanaiste thinks it is – that says more about his intellectual horsepower than it does about an effective immigration system – One word – it’s a noun – Denmark !!!
A farce of a system.
I am living in an open air lunatic asylum and the lunatic are in charge. How much money did this cost?
