‘Home for Good’ report published. Based on a survey of 400 Irish emigrants, it details the experiences of recently returned emigrants and outlines challenges they faced upon return.

• Improved Procedures for Housing for Vulnerable Returning Emigrants

• Develop Pre-Clearance/Online De Facto Visa Applications

• Ensure Consistency in Application of Habitual Residence Condition Guidelines
