Defendant: The Minister for Justice and Equality Ireland and the Attorney General

Other party: The Refugee Legal Services

Questions referred

1.

Can an application for asylum, which is governed by domestic legislation which reflects a Member State's obligations under the Qualification Directive, be regarded as an appropriate comparator in respect of an application for subsidiary protection for the purposes of the principle of equivalence?

2.

If the answer to the first question is in the affirmative, is it relevant for this purpose that the time limit imposed in respect of applications for subsidiary protection serves the important interest of ensuring that applications for international protection are dealt within a reasonable time?
