U (D) v Minister for Justice
the applicant was an Irish citizen whose father had failed in his application for asylum in the State, having already applied for asylum in the United Kingdom. The applicant then applied to the respondent for permission for her father and next friend to remain in the State. In the interim, the respondent had issued a transfer order to the United Kingdom under Council Regulation 243/2003 in respect of the next friend.
