Language of the case: English
Referring court
High Court (Ireland)
Parties to the main proceedings
Applicants: S.A., R.J.
Respondents: Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, Ireland, and Attorney General
Notice Party: United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
Operative part of the judgment
EU law must be interpreted as meaning that a Member State which has not guaranteed, for a number of weeks, access by an applicant for international protection to the material reception conditions provided for by Directive 2013/33/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 laying down standards for the reception of applicants for international protection may not avoid liability under EU law by pleading temporary exhaustion of the housing capacity normally available in its territory for applicants for international protection, owing to an influx of third-country nationals seeking temporary or international protection; an influx which, because of its significant and sudden nature, was unforeseeable and unavoidable.
