The Court of Appeal dismissed as moot an appeal from the High Court's decision to quash the designation of the United Kingdom as a 'safe third country' under the international protection legislation, in light of the UK's 'Rwanda policy' and subsequent legislative changes in Ireland. The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal as moot, given the legislative changes that now afford additional protections to individuals subject to return orders.
