1. Judicial review has long been a critically important corrective to defects in the Irish asylum procedure. E.g.:
-recognition of right to work
-overturning poor first instance and appeal decision making
-prompting the introduction of single procedure
-standard of proof

2. People seeking asylum are already treated differently in JR:
- separate list in High Court
- higher test and shorter time limits
- limited right to appeal (See Illegal Immigrants Act 2000 ⬇️ )

In the last 7 years:
-around 46% of applications have been given leave to apply for JR
-around 33% of those have obtained the order sought
-around 40% have settled, presumably many in favour of applicant
