Experience
Worked on the full spectrum of Ireland immigration applications for a variety of corporate clients in the IT, entertainment and construction industries including Critical Skills Employment Permits, Residence Card applications and the Atypical Working Scheme.
While a member of the INIS’s legal panel within the Repatriation Division, made legally sound recommendations as to whether or not an individual could be deported from Ireland. This involved the assessment of case files and applications for permission to remain in Ireland by unsuccessful international protection applicants and individuals with no immigration permission.
Provided courtroom advocacy for clients in relation to criminal and immigration cases. This involved handling a high and varied caseload in difficult and pressurised settings.
