Campaigns

The Immigrant Council of Ireland prides itself on its ability to identify emerging issues and challenges faced by migrant communities and people from a migrant background.

While our Independent Law Centre provides support to anyone directly affected by immigration concerns, we also work to advocate for broader social, legal and policy change to protect people’s rights and prevent future injustices. 
We focus on a number of strategic themes while also responding to emerging issues. Read about our current areas of focus below and find out how you can support our work here.
