Overview

The Refugee Documentation Centre (RDC) provides a specialist research and query service in support of the work of the Legal Aid Board and Department of Justice agencies involved in International Protection cases. The service is also available to solicitors on the Legal Aid Board’s International Protection Solicitors Panel and to barristers who are part of the Legal Aid Board’s International Protection sub-panel for Barristers. 

Applications for the Research and Query Service can be made by completing and submitting an RDC Query Form. 

The Research and Query Service is available by emailing your COI request to research@legalaidboard.ie

The European Union Agency for Asylum EUAA publishes a selection of anonymised query responses and Country Information Packs completed by the RDC. These can be found at https://coi.euaa.europa.eu/
